To Be Implemented under <\/strong>Trans-Pacific Partnership\u2019s Auspices<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is urgent.\u00a0An Internet censorship plan is being finalized in secret meetings right now.\u00a0We need all hands on deck at this crucial moment.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the situation: President Obama himself is in secretive meetings with key political figures and lobbyists in Asia to lock the Trans-Pacific Partnership\u2019s Internet censorship plan into place.<\/p>\n

We know from leaked documents that this secretive plan will censor your use of the Internet and strip away your rights.[1] If finalized,\u00a0this plan would force ISPs to act as \u201cInternet Police\u201d monitoring our Internet use, censoring content, and removing whole websites.[2]<\/p>\n

It will give media conglomerates centralized control over what you can watch and share online.<\/p>\n

We urgently need your help to fight back. Add your voice right now and we\u2019ll project a Stop the Secrecy message on key buildings in Washington D.C. to ensure Obama, the media, and everyone else knows this censorship plan must be stopped.<\/p>\n

This is huge: covering 40% of the global economy, the TPP is being called a legal \u201cblueprint\u201d for the rest of the world.[3] Once key leaders finalize TPP Internet censorship plans, those plans will be used to globalize censorship. You will be affected and\u00a0this may be our only chance to stop it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our attention-grabbing message will shine a light on their secret plan and will make clear to Washington lobbyists that the Internet community will never accept the TPP\u2019s secrecy or censorship.\u00a0The more who speak out, the larger our projection will become, and the more people we can reach.<\/p>\n

This is a decisive moment: we need to act right now. Join with hundreds of thousands of people all over the world to shine a light on the TPP\u2019s job-killing Internet censorship plan.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s send decision-makers and the lobbyists pulling the strings a message they can\u2019t ignore: \u201cStop the secrecy now.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Thank you for being a part of history,<\/p>\n

After signing the petition,\u00a0please forward this message to your friends.<\/p>\n
