Hi again -
Thanks to everyone who has weighed in and signed on to the letter to Mark
Zuckerberg.
We're now at 47 signers from 27 countries and regions - listed below.
The letter is finalized but we'll still be taking signers through tomorrow
(Wednesday) as we get a campaign in motion to announce the letter and exert
pressure on FB - *so there's still time to add your organization's name. *
Thanks again,
Josh
