Maybe the EFF? Because yeah, “petition your local representative” probably isn’t going to cut it.
I’ll watch their blog and see if they’re starting something, they might be working on it behind the scenes too. https://www.eff.org/
Could also contact them and ask about it? Pretty much the same logic as with contacting your local rep except that the EFF has way more clout
