About us
The initiative “lawyers against mass surveillance” is an alliance of lawyers that aims to set an example as professionals against mass surveillance and an attempt to create a public awareness of the illegality of these actions. Additionally, our initiative addresses the government with our demands to stop mass surveillance immediately.

»Rechtsanwältinnen und Rechtsanwälte haben eine wichtige Wächterrolle für die Wahrung von Freiheit und Demokratie. Diese Werte sind durch die Totalüberwachung der Geheimdienste gefährdet. Deshalb ist der Münchener Anwaltverein dieser Initiative beigetreten und hofft auf den Beitritt weiterer Anwaltvereine. Wir regen zudem alle Kolleginnen und Kollegen zur Unterzeichnung der "Hamburger Erklärung" an.« Rechtsanwältin Petra Heinecke, Vorsitzende des Vorstands des Münchner Anwaltverein e.V.

»I welcome this initiative of lawyers enthusiastically. It should be copied and adopted by the entire advocacy and beyond. Our country urgently needs the dedication of its people against the erosion of our basic rights.« Dr. Gerhart Baum (Bundesminister des Inneren a.D.)
Initially, we call nationwide on all lawyers, and all members of the judicial system ( judges, notaries, legal advisors, professors) to join our online demands stated in “The Hamburg Declaration against Mass Surveillance”. In addition we urge all citizens to publicly participate by signing this declaration. The impending danger of losing our basic rights is a concern to all of us citizens. ( Concerned citizens please mark the field »other profession«) .
Be aware: »Silence gives consent!«.
