Occupy Sacramento (http://occupysac.com/)
will join thousands of websites across the world in an internet blackout on Wed. January 18, 2024 as we oppose the current internet censorship legislation in congress known as SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act). We do this to raise awareness of this huge threat to an open internet.

Click here to send an email to your congressmembers and urge them to vote NO on SOPA (House members) and PIPA (Senate members). You can also call and fax them by clicking here.

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.

Join us in Sacramento on Saturday, January 21, for a rally on the second anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission ruling.

The rally is part of the national Days of Action being organized by Public Citizen and over 40 other sponsoring organizations, including Common Cause, Free Speech for People, Greenpeace, 350.org, People For the American Way, Move to Amend and California Church IMPACT.
