Repeal SB 2420
Petition to Protect Privacy Rights — Oppose Texas SB 2420
To: Governor Greg Abbott, Attorney General Ken Paxton, and Members of the Texas Legislature
We, the undersigned, strongly oppose Senate Bill 2420 (SB 2420) on the grounds that it represents a serious threat to Texans’ right to privacy, free expression, and digital autonomy.
SB 2420 expands state surveillance powers and undermines the confidentiality of personal communications and online activity. Texans should not have to sacrifice privacy to participate in public life or express their views freely. This bill sets a dangerous precedent for government overreach and violates the spirit of constitutional protections guaranteed under both the U.S. and Texas Constitutions.
We call on our elected officials to:
1. Reject and repeal SB 2420 through future House or Senate action.
2. Uphold privacy and free speech rights as foundational principles of a free Texas.
3. Ensure future legislation includes strong safeguards against unwarranted surveillance or data collection.
Why is this important?
