Computing Activism
Didn't know if you guys knew about this site. My husband shared it with me yesterday and I thought I'd share it with you today. Looks like there are many important 'campaigns' in which to participate so take your pick. And please forgive me if this is not the right forum for the info, I took my best shot at the proper place to share it.

He also forwarded this last minute email request for help with this particular campaign but I was away and didn't see it until today (which appears to be too late) so I'm posting it here simply FYI to share what's going on:
Hollywood attorneys are trying to use the courts to circumvent Congress and implement a backdoor SOPA/PIPA scheme.
Fight Back: YOUR FILES ON Google, Dropbox, Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram, YouTube, Flickr, etc. and even your emails are in jeopardy.
Demand Progress is fighting back in the courts and standing up for Internet users. We are taking on the United States and the MPAA. Please sign up at right to support our legal brief so the court understands that millions of people will be impacted by this decision. The judge is hearing the case
TOMORROW.
BACKGROUND: One day after the Internet staged a massive blackout to protest Congress's Internet censorship legislation (SOPA/PIPA), the United States responded by seizing millions of ordinary user files hosted on the popular website Megaupload.com.
