Celebrities And Web Companies Back DonateForNetNeutrality.com Matching Fund To Spark Massive Protest

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 1, 2018 Contact: Evan Greer, 978-852-6457, press@fightforthefuture.org

Evangeline Lilly, Bassnectar, Tom Morello, Justin Sun, Postmates, Namecheap, Cory Doctorow, Private Internet Access among donors

A number of well liked web companies and high profile individuals have banded together to back a crowdfunding effort launched by digital rights group Fight for the Future. Ant-Man and the Wasp star Evangeline Lilly, legendary guitarist Tom Morello, Tron CEO Justin Sun, author Cory Doctorow, and EDM hero Bassnectar are teaming up with companies like Postmates, Namecheap, and Private Internet Access matching Internet users’ donations to raise money for an epic final push for net neutrality as the deadline approaches for Congress to reverse the FCC’s repeal of open Internet protections.

See the crowdfunding page here: DonateForNetNeutrality.com

Organizers hope to raise $100,000 to fund mass online protests, crowdfunded ad buys, and strategic in-district organizing pushing for House members to support the Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to restore net neutrality before Congress adjourns at the end of the year. The full list of “Internet defenders” who are matching grassroots donations 100%, includes: Bassnectar, Cory Doctorow, Tom Morello, Evangeline Lilly, Private Internet Access, Justin Sun, AnchorFree, iFixit, Lookfar, Namecheap, Pornhub, Postmates, Startpage, Bittorrent, and Tron.

“These folks are taking on the telecom lobby machine and fighting for a free, open, and uncensored Internet,” said Tom Morello, “Net neutrality is the free speech fight of this generation and time is running out. It’s time for the Internet to rise up again.”

“This is not a partisan issue, the battle for the net is a fight for our most basic freedoms. People from across the entire political spectrum can agree that we don’t want anyone to control or manipulate what we see and do on the Internet,” added actress Evangeline Lilly (Lost, Ant-Man and the Wasp, The Hobbit).

“Given my deep belief in an open and decentralized internet, I support Donatefornetneutrality.com and urge others to do the same in this critical moment where Congress can still act in favor of net neutrality,” said Justin Sun, founder and CEO of TRON. “When the internet is free and open, it fosters innovation that benefits not just a few, but all of us. It’s our responsibility to protect these core values and push our community towards the cause.”

“Net neutrality is not dead yet. Not even close,” said Evan Greer, deputy director of Fight for the Future, “But time is running out on our best chance to get Congress to save the open Internet and give Ajit Pai the worst day of his political career. Comcast and AT&T’s lobbyists are doing everything they can to make sure Congress adjourns without addressing this. We have to make it something they can’t ignore.”

Hey All, It's Been A While! I've Been Riding The Roller Coaster Of Life While I've Been Away. It's Hard

Hey all, it's been a while! I've been riding the roller coaster of life while I've been away. It's hard to believe that school is almost over again. Time just flies when you're busy. 🔹 Here's a peek at what I've been working on; it's the first thumbnail for my comic script. I like how the pod looks like an egg just waiting to hatch, much like a story just waiting to begin... (foreshadowing!) 😊 I hope you enjoy~ 🔹 #art #artsy #DailyArt #ArtoftheDay #artwork #draw #sketch #sketchbook #doodle #traditionalart #traditionalartwork #pencildrawing #pencilsketch #pencil #wip #workinprogress #originalartwork #instaart #artistsofinstagram #artistsoninstagram #artistsontumblr #artistsontwitter #artist #illustrator #instaartist #CrystaltheCC

I’ve been meaning to share this work of my characters Crystal and Astra for quite some time. These were done in 2018 but I touched them up recently. Crystal admittedly needs to be redrawn because her anatomy is wonky. 😅 🔹 https://www.instagram.com/p/CHwnsAbDJac/?igshid=sd77ojkmiohp

Sorry For The Lack Of Art Guys! Who Knew That The Beginning Of The Year Would Be So Busy? 😩 I'm Trying

Sorry for the lack of art guys! Who knew that the beginning of the year would be so busy? 😩 I'm trying to get back into a groove of drawing everyday, starting with yesterday's Cognitive Drawing exercise: draw a flexing man from memory (no references). How do y'all think I did? 🔹 Honestly I feel like I'm looking at one of my high school drawings. Not that bad, but not that great either. Let's see how much I learn with the next exercises yeah? 😁

Here's A WIP Of What I've Been Working On This Past Week For My Illustration Class. 🔷 This Assignment

Here's a WIP of what I've been working on this past week for my Illustration class. 🔷 This assignment is another collage, using very detailed life drawings from a specific book. I've taken images that I liked, collaged them together, photocopied them, then used a special marker to transfer the images on to Bristol paper. (Looks like magic, no? 😆) 🔷 I haven't drawn anything yet, but I plan to later. I haven't been feeling that great, so I think I'll go get some more rest. Hope you enjoy!

Finished My Self-portrait! I’ll Admit I Made A Mistake When I Colored In The Skin Tones On The Original,
Finished My Self-portrait! I’ll Admit I Made A Mistake When I Colored In The Skin Tones On The Original,

Finished my self-portrait! I’ll admit I made a mistake when I colored in the skin tones on the original, so I edited it in Photoshop. (2nd pic is original drawing) I need better skin tone colored markers… But that aside, I’m pretty proud of it. This was also my first attempt at coloring hair in a different style than I usually do, and I’m liking it a lot better. Again, this is part of a bigger piece that I wanted to do; I’m making a Meet The Artist page and drawing myself in my style is a big part of it. (*cough* spoilers. I promise I’ll share more info later!) Hope you guys enjoy! Zoom in for details! 😊
