Hello John Rooke,

September 18th -- less than one week away -- is International Day 
Against DRM <https://dayagainstdrm.org?pk_campaign=idad2018&pk_kwd=1wk> 
(IDAD), an annual day of action and celebration against Digital 
Restrictions Management 
<https://www.defectivebydesign.org/what_is_drm_digital_restrictions_management> 
(DRM). On IDAD, people who care about DRM get together all over the 
world and the Web to say in one voice that we stand against DRM and for 
digital freedom.

*Pledge to participate in this year's IDAD 
<https://my.fsf.org/civicrm/petition/sign?sid=8&reset=1/?pk_campaign=idad2018&pk_kwd=1wk_petition>*!


    Want to get involved?

People are gathering digitally and in-person to take action against DRM, 
and you can be involved. Here are just a few things you can do as an 
individual:

  *

    Organize a flyering event
    <https://www.defectivebydesign.org/printable>. If you haven't done
    one before, check out our Giving Guide Giveaway Primer
    <https://www.fsf.org/givingguide/giving-guide-giveaway-primer>, as
    inspiration. You can also contact us at address@hidden
    <mailto:address@hidden> for advice and materials. Alternatively,
    put up anti-DRM and DRM-free flyers around your campus, community,
    or neighborhood.

  *

    Go a Day Without DRM
    <https://dayagainstdrm.org?pk_campaign=idad2018&pk_kwd=1wk>! We're
    challenging ourselves to go a day without using DRM-encumbered media
    and devices: no Netflix, Steam, or locked down ebooks or music.
    We'll be blogging about the experience afterwards and sharing on
    social media throughout the day.

  *

    Write your own blog post about why you oppose DRM.

  *

    Share on social media using the hashtag *#IDAD*.

*Hosting an event?* We can help you reach out to free software 
supporters in your area. Contact us at address@hidden 
<mailto:address@hidden>.


    Are you an organization?

Do you run or work for an organization that opposes DRM? You can join us 
as well.

    Show your support by adding your logo to the logo cloud on the
    right-hand side of this page
    <https://dayagainstdrm.org?pk_campaign=idad2018&pk_kwd=1wk>.

  *

    Organize an event in your area. Past events have included a video
    game festival, film screenings, rallies in public spaces, and
    protests at DRM-supporting businesses.

  *

    Share with your members, constituents, supporters, and followers why
    you stand against DRM.

  *

    Add a modal window
    <https://www.defectivebydesign.org/blog/idad_2018_modal_window> to
    your Web site before IDAD and/or on the day of. (Our modal window
    works without proprietary JavaScript
    <https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/javascript-trap.en.html>.)

  *

    Offer a discount, deal, or giveaway of DRM-free media or DRM-free
    devices.

We're also interested in hearing your ideas, so feel free to contact us 
at address@hidden <mailto:address@hidden>.


    See you on September 18th!
