ITU: Hands off our Internet! 0 have signed. Help us get to 1,000,000 Update: 14 December 2012 Fantastic news -- today, people power stopped authoritarian regimes from putting the internet under crazy government control.
Empowered by public opposition, dozens of countries refused to sign the ITU treaty -- making it effectively dead. But this won’t be the last threat to our free Internet. Let’s keep signing and sharing to keep up the pressure for an open Internet! Update: 12 December 2012 The pressure is working -- the dangerous proposal from Russia and others to empower individual states to censor and filter the Internet has been defeated. Posted: 10 December 2012 Right now at a UN meeting in Dubai, authoritarian regimes are pushing for full governmental control of the Internet in a binding global treaty -- if they succeed, the internet could become less open, more costly and much slower.

Help us get to 750,000 Posted: 7 October 2012One powerful woman is threatening the future of millions of others. But if we all weigh in right now we can rescue the people-powered bank that’s an inspiration to the world.

But Bangladesh's jealous Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, has fired its Nobel Prize winning founder Muhammad Yunus and now wants to seize control of the bank, all to silence a political rival.

Hasina has already been facing a series of scandals at home -- if we can add a giant global backlash to her list of worries, we can force her to back down. 3 Days to Stop the Corporate Death Star.

A South African court just ruled that the government violated our right to free speech when they tore down ads calling for the protection of South Africa’s lions -- and we’re all over the news.
Update: 7 February 2013 The South African airport authority (ACSA) refused to put our ads back up and, since their censorship violates our free speech rights under the South African constitution, we've taken them to court! Posted: 27 June 2012Hundreds of South African lions are being slaughtered to make bogus sex potions for men. A global ban on tiger bone sales has traders hunting a new prize -- the majestic lions.

A massive ray of hope on climate. 381,370 have signed. Help us get to 750,000 Update: 7 February 2013 This petition was handed in to the US and EU in autumn 2012.

Posted: 4 September 2012 Climate change is accelerating, but there’s a massive ray of hope: clean energy is booming, producing nearly 20% of the world's electricity!
