From: Phil Wilmot <p...@wagingnonviolence.org> Hi everyone,
My name is Phil, and I am a board member of Solidarity Uganda which organized a #WebWeWant campaign alongside you all. Ours was with cafe owners, media, local leaders, and CBOs. Apart from being a board member of Solidarity Uganda, I write for a few international publications with progressive readerships. I am sure some of you are aware of what is happening in Anglophone Cameroon currently. I am trying to get my editors to buy into the idea of running a piece about creative ways Africans of various parts of the continent are advocating for internet rights (increased access, affordability, ending censorship/blackouts). If you have participated in any creative initiative to advocate for such internet rights, I want to hear from you. Shoot me an email with a brief background to your efforts (and/or links) and I will follow up with a few questions. Keep up the great work. In Uganda here, we still have a long way to go and a government that is not prioritizing the internet infrastructure. We are working with one MP to help table legislation, but it is moving slowly. Godspeed, phil wilmot
