[bestbits] New campaign on internet shutdowns launching this week - join?

[Deji Olukotun]

Hi to All,

Apologies for cross posting.

*This week*, we're launching a new campaign that aims to push back on the
increasing prevalence of internet shutdowns. Shutdowns have become an early
warning mechanism for human
rights violations and they drastically impact human rights and local economies.
Worse, they’re being used to subvert the most critical moment in the
democratic process: elections. Our goal is lofty -- to fight internet
shutdowns worldwide and to shift global norms so that
governments stop ordering them.

Here are three ways to join this effort:

1. Sign your organization on to the campaign by emailing me. (We'll
manually add it to the site when it launches this week.)

2. Join the coalition mailing list, where members of the campaign can
share ideas and strategies to push back.

3. Spread the word! Tell people about this campaign and please let us
know if there is someone you think should join the coalition at
deji at accessnow.org. (Check out this awesome t-shirt created by Sinar
Project in Malaysia.

the site, we’re planning to have embeddable code to create badges, share
graphics, and more.

Happy to answer any questions.

All best,
--
