Hey, This is something we could support as a community. It would be nice if there were a few people interested in coordinating actions internationally. I know this would be of interest to the group I'm working with locally in Ireland. Chris would you be interested in doing a synchronous cryptoparty or something for this?

Dear Friends of the Internet:
The Snowden revelations have provided us with disturbing details and confirmation of some of our worst fears about the NSA and its partners’ spying practices. Indeed, the NSA and its allies in five English-speaking countries have been building a global surveillance infrastructure to “master the internet” and spy on the world’s communications. They are undermining basic encryption standards, the very backbone of the Internet. They have collected the phone records of hundreds of millions of people who are not suspected of any crime. They has swept up the electronic communications of millions of people at home and abroad indiscriminately, exploiting the digital technologies we use to connect and inform. They have secretive data sharing agreements operating outside the rule of law.
But we aren’t going to let the NSA and its five allies ruin the Internet. Inspired by the memory of Aaron Swartz, fueled by our victory against SOPA and ACTA, we are joining the DayWeFightBack campaign to demand an end to mass surveillance at home and abroad.
The SOPA and ACTA protests were successful because we all took part, as a community. As Aaron Swartz put it, everybody "made themselves the hero of their own story." We can set a date, but we need all of you, the users of the Internet, to make it a movement.
When: The Day We Fight Back has been set for February 11th.
Here's how you can join the effort:
1. Send an email to [email protected] confirming your interest in participating in this action and receiving updates. Let us know what you would like to do in your own country so we can send you more information and amplify your voice.

4. Use social media tools to announce your participation.
5. Develop memes, tools, websites, and do whatever else you can to encourage others to participate.
