Tying your cause to "anti-tech" is a great way to doom yourself to irrelevance. The vast majority of people won't ever side with you.

We techies know we can have tech and freedom too, and that the fight is over good tech, not no tech. Everyone else always picks convenience over privacy and freedom.

That is definitely not true. An H-1B worker can switch employers, as long as the new employer is willing to sponsor the candidate's H-1B.

The only thing that somewhat "binds" an employee is the Green Card process, which must be reset when switching companies. But even that is not true in all cases, since at a certain point in the GC process one can "port" their application to a new employer with no need to reset the process.

First rule of politics: uniting people against something is easy. Actually suggesting alternatives is more difficult.
