Hey Internet! 👋 Big announcement:

We mostly fight for privacy and a free & open Internet.

But if we don't tackle the #ClimateCrisis head-on, there won't be an Internet left to protect.

So we're going all in & climate striking:

The #ClimateCrisis threatens every corner of the world. From our food and water to the Internet itself.

That's why, on 9/20, we're striking in solidarity with youth for the planet.

Oh, and there's our food, our water, our homes, and our lives too.

There are no sidelines. There are no bystanders.

This is everyone's fight. This is YOUR fight.

But our leaders are failing us and marching us straight into the rising seas.

So we're following the lead of youth like @GretaThunberg and @AlexandriaV2005 and striking on 9/20.

That's why we're organizing websites to go on digital strike in the lead-up to 9/20.

From the SOPA blackout to the Internet Slowdown Day, we've helped organize the largest online protests in history.

And we're throwing our full weight behind this.

So here's how you can help.

Run a website? Put up a banner and join us in the streets:

The #ClimateCrisis isn't some faraway problem for elitists or future generations.

It’s happening NOW, and it's coming for you and every single person you love.

This will be the defining issue of our time.

So let's fight, fight, FIGHT for our future. ❤️
