#NoToCybercrime Law

Anakbayan-USA calls on everyone to register their opposition to RA10175 or Cybercrime Law in the Philippines. From November 2 to November 7, we are calling on Filipinos in the US to continue to register their opposition to this online martial law. 

We are asking folks to take the following actions: 

1) Profile Blackout- to generate awareness and as a symbolic protest against the cybercrime prevention law, we are asking the community to blackout their profile picture and instead use the “Repeal Cybercrime 

Law” picture. Have it up until November 7. 

2) Tweet-bomb- let us make the cybercrime law a trending topic on twitter and flood Pres. Aquino’s official twitter account with messages of protests against the cybercrime law

#NoToCybercrimeLaw @NoynoyAquino

*Sample message:* “Repeal RA10175 now! #NoToCybercrimeLaw @NoynoyAquino” 
or “President @NoynoyAquino, stop e-martial law now #NoToCybercrimeLaw”

3) Phone-in – call the Philippine Embassy (Washington DC) and tell them that you are concerned about the freedom of speech in the Philippines and that you want the President and the senate to repeal the cybercrime law.
