The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and Protect IP Acts (PIPA) now on the floor in Congress will cripple journalism, independent creative expression, and life saving services by making it possible to shut down a website for a single link. Passing these bills means sacrificing millions of American's freedom to openly exchange information.

“We have moved into an era where we are called upon to raise certain basic questions about the whole society. We are still called upon to give aid to the beggar who finds himself in misery and agony on life’s highway. But one day, we must ask the question of whether an edifice which produces beggars must not be restructured and refurbished. That is where we are now.” 

- Dr. Martin Luther King, SCLC Retreat, South Carolina, May 1967
