Dear Spencer,

With an incredible showing of power and belief, *over 300,000 people in 
72 hours* called on the European Parliament to reject the 
rights-threatening international copyright treaty, ACTA. We’ve shone a 
bright light on the countries that signed this secretly negotiated 
agreement – *but the fight to save the internet is far from over.*

ACTA still needs to be approved by the European Parliament, and if it 
goes down there, the agreement will effectively be dead in the water. 
*Now we invite you to join us by taking to the streets at a protest near 
you on Feb 11.*

You signed the petition against ACTA, *now check out the amazing map 
below showing the global day of action, and grab a friend to join a 
protest and make your voice heard*:

If you can’t make a protest, *you can still participate*. Go to our 
Tumblr page and *show your solidarity with the Feb. 11 protestors* by 
submitting a picture, words of support, or protest signs! Your pictures 
and words will be posted on our page, and the best signs will be printed 
out by us and given to protestors on Feb. 11.

As you know, *the internet is facing many threats* and in 2012 Access 
will ask for your help on those issues. This is the year to protect the 
internet, and* it starts with all of us!* We're right in the center of 
the fight for digital freedom in 2012 and we're happy to have you with us.

The internet has been used for activism. *Now it’s time to use activism 
to save the internet.*

Thanks for all your support,
Brett Solomon
Access Executive Director
