Stop PIPA/SOPA Protest in NYC — Jan 18th

Join the NY tech community in a rally outside the offices of Senator Charles Schumer and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand tomorrow.  On January 18th at 12:30PM, the NY tech community is meeting up to protest at 780 Third Ave, NYC, and I strongly encourage anyone reading this to join in.

Senators Schumer and Gillibrand are currently supporters of SOPA, which is garbage. SOPA is dangerous to the growth of the internet.  It is censorship, and it shreds due process.  If you are not familiar with SOPA, here is a simple one-page explanation of why SOPA is dangerous.

Internet technology companies are one of the most exciting drivers of high-value job growth in NYC right now, and the fact that NY Senators are proponents of this harmful bill is an affront to their constituents.

Please join this rally.  The more people involved tomorrow, the better.
