For the first time since its inception in 2005, Greensboro 101 is not serving its function as a gateway to the news and ideas of the people and organizations of Greensboro. It's on strike in protest of some very bad legislation currently under consideration in the U.S. congress that would allow Hollywood media companies to censor the Internet with a heavy, ham-fisted hand.

North Carolina's senator Kay Hagan is a co-sponsor of the legislation. Our other senator, Richard Burr, is undecided. Contact them both and ask them NOT to support the Protect IP Act. [Email your congressional representatives here.]
