WIKIPEDIA ENGLISH DOWN - A PROTEST - LET INTERNET REMAIN FREE! WIKIPEDIA VOICES FOR THE BENEFIT FOR THE WORLD. LET INFORMATION REMAIN FREE, ACCESIBLE!

wikipedia - wikipedia english - protect - SOAP - PIPA - muwasalat.com - Protest

What you can do, is simply spread the word.

"How could SOPA and PIPA hurt Wikipedia?
SOPA and PIPA are a threat to Wikipedia in many ways. For example, in its current form, SOPA would require Wikipedia to actively monitor every site we link to, to ensure it doesn't host infringing content. Any link to an infringing site could put us in jeopardy of being forced offline.
I live in the United States. What's the best way for me to help?
The most effective action you can take is to call your representatives and tell them you oppose SOPA and PIPA, and any similar legislation. Type your zipcode in the locator box to find your representatives' contact information. Text-based communication is okay, but phone calls have the most impact.
I don't live in the United States. How can I help?
Contact your local State Department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, or similar branch of government. Tell them you oppose SOPA and PIPA, and any similar legislation. SOPA and PIPA will affect sites outside of the United States, and actions to sites inside the United States (like Wikipedia) will also affect non-American readers -- like you. Calling your own government will also let them know you don't want them to create their own bad anti-Internet legislation."

Modern Slavery!

Source: http://matadornetwork.com/change/10-shocking-facts-about-global-slavery-in-2008/

"3. Slavery still exists in the US.

Estimates by the US State Department suggest up to 17,500 slaves are brought into the US every year, with 50,000 of those working as prostitutes, farm workers or domestic servants."

What is Bonded Labour?
Read a good article on it. I'll try to explain as quickly as possible. Suppose you are a slave and you come into bonded labour when you are tricked by the employer by a debt or something confusing that makes your boss in charge of you. And thus, to repay his debt you've to work for him for a long long time ;(

I really really recommend you to read about Fair Trade also.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_trade


"fair trade is a trading partnership, based on dialogue, transparency and respect, that seeks greater equity in international trade."


Did you know about these terms, Anti-Slavery, Bonded Labour Or Fair Trade? if not then good because now you know.
