RIPP (Rhode Islanders for Personal Privacy) is an independent grassroots group of Rhode Islanders fighting government and corporate surveillance and AI abuses. Americans don’t have to accept Big Brother or even the creeping surveillance that already exists. We believe in a multi-track approach including public education, working to stop bad laws and enact better ones, and spreading the word on resources people can use to help themselves avoid exploitative tech. We aim to keep humane values alive even in difficult times and to help them grow over the long haul.
More needs to be done of course, but we have been active since Spring 2026 in opposing bad laws, supporting good ones and informing the public.
