Saving the Internet, to save Everything. A talk on net neutrality and activism by Holmes Wilson of Fight for the Future.

Holmes is the co-founder and co-director of Fight for the Future, an online activism group best known for its role in winning Net Neutrality in the US in 2015 and defeating the American Internet censorship bills SOPA & PIPA in 2012. This will be a casual and open talk on how net neutrality was won in the US, India and Europe, and what these victories mean for the future of activism—on any and every important issue facing the world.

If you participated in the fight for net neutrality in India—or any other successful activism campaign—come ready to tell your story.

Our goal—always—is to build tech-enhanced campaigns that resonate with millions of people, enabling them to consolidate their power and win historic changes thought to be impossible. In 2012 we organized the largest online protest in history, an internet-wide strike against web censorship which defeated the SOPA and PIPA bills. More recently, our Battle for the Net campaign drove nearly four million people to contact the FCC resulting in the game-changing passage of net neutrality rules (a “First Amendment” for the Internet).
