on the web here.
We had a very successful week with the "People's Firewall" Occupy the FCC encampment to save the Internet. We'll describe this in more detail below.

Tonight we begin the Baltimore Economic Democracy Conference - "Building Our New Economy Together." You can watch the opening plenary at The Real News studio space in Baltimore by clicking on this link. It runs from 7 to 9 pm Eastern, Friday May 16. And the rest of the conference takes place on Saturday, May 17.

The protest to save the Internet and building new economic structures in which people have more participation and benefit are in line with our overall strategy to Resist and Create, to Stop the Machine and Build a New World. The Internet is an essential tool for people, especially advocates for justice. And changing the economy so that people's needs are met and wealth inequality is reduced is essential to shifting political power.

We are a bit swamped with these events. You will find summaries of the articles we posted on PopularResistance.org recently by clicking here. We will return to our usual newsletter format next week.

Saving the Internet!

The campaign pushed the door open, now we all have to go through it and raise our voices louder than Comcast’s lobbyists to save the people’s internet.

The next four months are going to determine the future of the Internet. Will it remain free and open with equal access to all? There are powerful corporate interests that want to profit even more than they already do from the Internet at the expense of the public interest.  But as a result of the public’s work this week, we now have an opportunity to create the Internet we want.
We intend to make this a major focus of our work because the Internet is an essential tool for people to have access to information and to communicate with each other and it is central to our work. We want your advice and involvement; your creativity and activism. To win the Internet that can’t discriminate is going to require solidarity across issues and unity in our demands.
