Restore the Fourth is an American 501(c)(4) nonprofit that seeks to strengthen the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution and end programs that violate it.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://restorethe4th.com/faq/ )〕 Following the start of the Global surveillance disclosures, Restore The Fourth organized protests on July 4, 2013 (Independence Day), August 4 (Orwell Day), October 26 (Stop Watching Us), and April 10, 2014 (Shut Down Spy Centers). In 2015, Restore The Fourth helped to introduce the Surveillance State Repeal Act, worked to oppose the renewal of the PATRIOT Act authorities governing mass surveillance, filed an amicus brief in (US v. Ganias ), and introduced the (Decide The Future ) surveillance scorecard for legislators. ==History== Restore the Fourth originated on the social media website reddit shortly after the information leak by Edward Snowden, which detailed the US National Security Agency's (NSA) mass surveillance programs, most notably the PRISM. A subforum (known on reddit as a `subreddit') dedicated to the movement was created, garnering over 15,000 subscribers in 2 weeks. From there, Restore the Fourth moved to Snoonet, an IRC network for reddit communities. Most organization prior to July 4, 2013 occurred there, where local organizers, national organizers, and users from the subreddit collaborated. The first Restore the Fourth protest occurred on June 30, 2013, in Madison, Wisconsin. Subsequent Independence Day protests occurred on July 4 with more than 70 local rallies across all 50 U.S. states and Washington, D.C.〔(Restore the Fourth Protests )〕 On July 4, many protests hosted hundreds of attendees, and as many as 500 protesters attended the rallies in Washington, D.C. and 950 in New York City.〔 In Munich, Germany, protesters gathered in front of the U.S. Consulate wearing Edward Snowden masks. Organizers estimated a national turnout of more than 10,000. Further rallies were held to mark Orwell Day (August 4), to push for the passage of the USA Freedom Act (October 26), and to call for the shutting down of the growing network of fusion centers across the United States (April 10). During November 2013 - April 2014, the organization saw a period of significant turnover, before relaunching with national elections in May 2014 as a 501(c)(4) nonprofit with 25 chapters around the country, under the leadership of Alex Marthews. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Restore the Fourth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
