The Day We Fight Back is nearly HERE !!

It's just less than 8 hours to go and if you have a website (small or large) take the time to see if you can add a banner spreading the news. 

"The Day We Fight Back is planned as a day of "worldwide solidarity" in protest against NSA surveillance which would be at once an action against censorship and surveillance, and a commemoration of late "open-Internet activist" Aaron Swartz.^[3] In the US, a main goal of the protest is to encourage passage of the USA Freedom Act, a bill that seeks to reign in telephone data collection. Additionally, the banner will urge people to call Congress and voice opposition to the FISA Improvements Act, which the ACLU has called "a dream come true for the NSA" that would "codify the NSA's unconstitutional call-records program and allow bulk collection of location data from mobile phone users."^[8]Internationally, the goal is similar. A Guardian op-ed described the activists' objective globally as "to push authorities toward policies favoring liberty and privacy".^[9]

Organizers posted to their website: "Together we will push back against powers that seek to observe, collect, and analyze our every digital action.Together, we will make it clear that such behavior is not compatible with democratic governance. Together, if we persist, we will win this fight.”^[10] Rainey Reitman, director of activism at the EFF, said, “The idea is to really harness the outrage of the Internet community in speaking out in one big voice on Feb. 11." The protest comes a month after President Obama made a surveillance reform speech introducing his proposed changes to the collection of US citizens' data. Critics said the reformations wouldn't be "nearly enough".^[11]

By February 10, more than 5,300 websites and organizations had signed up to show support by featuring The Day We a Fight Back banner for 24 hours. The Huffington Post released images of various memes meant to be posted to sites like Facebook and Twitter as part of the event.^[12] Tens of thousands of individuals pledged to make calls and Internet posts supporting surveillance reform.^[10]

The banner reads:

Dear Internet, we’re sick of complaining about the NSA. We want new laws that curtail online surveillance. Today we fight back.”^[11]"
