Dear friends,
Everyone told us it was a done deal. Some of the world's richest corporations wanted US politicians to pass a bill threatening a free Internet, and no one could stop them.
But 3 million petition signatures, hundreds of thousands of phone calls, and thousands of press articles later, politicians are now running away from this bill!They haven't killed it yet, and we have to stay vigilant, but it's dead in the water for now.
This is another victory in the rise of people power that's sweeping the world -- from Cairo to Moscow to Wall St. -- and Avaaz is the online epicentre. We are the world's largest online people-powered campaigning community, that has 12 million members hailing from every country on earth.
Click here to see victories we've won in just the last few months, or read features on Avaaz in the Times, Economist, and Guardian. Together we could win even more victories,but if you'd like to unsubscribe from Avaaz, click here.
A whopping 3 million of us joined the campaign to save the Internet in the last few weeks!But new threats to Internet freedom are emerging from every corner of the globe, from India to Europe. To respond, we may need to move from defense to offense, trying to lock down our governments' commitment to Internet freedom before the forces of censorship reach them. We need to choose our next steps wisely -- click below to take a poll to decide where the campaign to save the internet should go next:

They really said the fight for a free Internet couldn't be won. But it was, and it will be, because every time we come together and work together as people across all boundaries and frontiers, nothing can stop us. There are many problems in the world, but with every one of them, what happens next, depends on us. Let's stick together.
With hope,
Ricken, Emma, Jamie, Morgan, Benjamin, Veronique, Maria-Paz, Shivendra, and the rest of the Avaaz team
