Active ACTA Protest on February 11th

I received this map: ACTA Protest

Of protests being formed all around the world. I wonder if anyone else will organise more cities in the United States?

Thank you very much for sharing.

Everyone who uses the internet should be concerned about censorship.

A lot of people won't go out to protest in person.

The good news is you can do a lot of good by just letting your political representatives know what you think by e-mailing or calling their offices.

Here is a copy of the email I received:

Quote:

What started as a few scattered demonstrations against ACTA has exploded into an international day of action this Saturday! There are nearly 200 events across the world, with hundreds of thousands of people expected to hit the streets to protest this dangerous international agreement.

Our feet have not yet hit the pavement, but our voices are already being heard! Facing a groundswell of opposition to ACTA, the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovenia are already wavering on ratification and the European Parliament’s point person for ACTA resigned his post in protest.

With ACTA’s supporters starting to wake up, we're facing a critical moment. ACTA can still be stopped in the European Parliament, and if it’s defeated there, the whole agreement will unravel. Momentum is on our side and we must not stop now. Click through to find out how to join hundreds of thousands of people protesting online and offline against ACTA:

Here you’ll find information about ACTA, a listing of Saturday's protests, fact sheets in several languages to hand out, and steps to download the ACTA Protest USTREAM App so you can livestream the event using your mobile phone. If there’s no protest near you, host one by starting a Facebook event and e-mail [e-mail] the link.

While we support the rights of creators, protection of intellectual property should not come at the expense of freedom of speech and our privacy. It is the duty of government to protect our rights, not put them in the hands of corporations and encourage ISPs to act as judge, jury, and executioner over our content and web activity.

Once seen as a done deal, ACTA’s fate is now hanging in the balance. The world is watching. Stand up for internet freedom this Saturday and protest ACTA!

See you out there,

P.S. Our petition has hit 350,000 and is still growing. To have the most impact in the European Parliament, it needs to get to 500,000. Help us by sending this link around to your family and friends: https://www.accessnow.org/acta

I can't make it to New York either, but I'm going to protest in my own way. I'll tape fliers with websites about ACTA on my car window or tell the guy at the walk to the store about something he should be worried about. I'd love to be out there holding up a sign and chanting a freedom shanty but I will likely be stuck inside.
