On January 18th, 2012 the internet is going on strike to stop the web censorship bills in Congress! Now is our moment— we need you to do everything you can, whether you have a website or not
On Jan 24th, Congress will vote to pass internet censorship in the Senate, even though the vast majority of Americans are opposed.
We need to kill the bill - PIPA in the Senate and SOPA in the House - to protect our rights to free speech, privacy, and prosperity. We need internet companies to follow Reddit's lead and stand up for the web, as we internet users are doing every day.
Everyone: Prepare to Strike
If you have a Twitter account, tweet about the #SOPASTRIKE and ask your followers to get ready. You can follow us on twitter for news as the strike gets closer. Go to Blackout SOPA to add ‘STOP SOPA’ to your Twitter image.
Post this SOPA Strike page to your Facebook account by clicking here.
Get ready for January 18th! Email and tweet at your friends, tell them to tell everyone about the strike. When the day comes, call Congress, tweet like crazy (#SOPASTRIKE), and help the strike appear everywhere!
Websites: How to Strike
Black out your website for 12 hours with this page's HTML, or by putting this Javascript into your site's theme. Tucows is doing this and so is BoingBoing.
