The regular live stream by the staff of the Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism. Hosts: BINJ’s Chris Faraone and Jason Pramas. This week, Chris and Jason interview Alex Marthews! Alex is a surveillance activist based in the Boston area. He chairs the civil liberties group Restore The Fourth. We’ll be talking about the federal government’s powers of warrantless surveillance under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA. Congress gave the President these powers in July 2008, and they have been renewed and abused under every President since.

The Boston Institute for Nonprofit Journalism produces bold independent journalism for Greater Boston and beyond.
Since 2015, BINJ has been producing hard-hitting news and analysis focusing on housing, criminal justice, the environment, government malfeasance, corporate corruption—and shedding light wherever it’s needed.
We work with some of the most experienced reporters in Greater Boston, and we also train dozens of emerging journalists each year to help them learn critical skills while providing quality reporting to our audience.
BINJ not only produces important stories; we also share our work for free with other community news outlets around Massachusetts, while organizing and leading at the regional and national levels of the nonprofit news industry.
We collaborate with other community publications and engage the public in civic educational initiatives
