This is great and I hope that people do call their representatives, but I wonder if it would be more effective if the pro-privacy and civil rights demographic would organize on a more permanent basis to call representatives rather than on an issue-by-issue basis. To some extent, this describes the EFF and the ACLU, but I'm thinking more of ordinary people who understand that these kinds of reforms need to happen, but aren't interested in being a member of such an organization.

Each time a new bill starts making its way through Congressional committees someone spins up a new issue-specific website, which is good, but it seems like there must be a lot of overhead in organizing on an issue-specific basis and that a lot of work (collecting emails, convincing people that this issue is worth their time to call, etc) is duplicated. Maybe individual grassroots political advocacy could even be incentivized in a "gamification" kind of way if it had a more permanent organizational structure with account or email records that persisted across issues? I don't really have anything concrete though; mostly I'm just thinking out loud.
