On the 12th anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Patriot Act, a group of whistle-blowers, activists and politicians from across the political spectrum are participating in the “largest rally yet” against unchecked NSA spying.

The event’s speakers include former Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich, Republican Rep. Justin Amash, former NSA executive and whistle-blower Thomas Drake, social critic Naomi Wolf and Rainey Reitman of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
