The right to #protest is fundamental to a strong #democracy and protected by the 1st Amendment in the United States, but...

“Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation”...are a particularly dangerous form of lawsuit. SLAPPs target civil society advocates, community leaders, journalists, whistleblowers...SLAPPs masquerade as ordinary civil lawsuits, but their true purpose is to silence criticism."

A for-profit company just bought the .ORG registry, shortly after ICANN removed price caps on .org domains. So... that’s just fantastic.

If anyone owns a .org domain I’d probably extend that registration out to the max 10 years before those prices jump. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/11/20/org_registry_sale_shambles/

Money is really tight right now until I receive the first grant payment.

Any help is very appreciated!
