EveryLibrary Partners with Mozilla for Net Neutrality

LJ Coverage of Rapid Response Fund

The folks at Library Journal provided some solid coverage of our new – and growing – Rapid Response Fund.  Donors like you have helped get the Fund in shape quickly.  We still have to raise about $2,500 to make sure we have enough on hand to answer the first 2 or 3 challenges with enough resources to do it right.  Click through to LJ’s coverage for more about our plans.  And come back to donate.  It’s a game changer for library advocacy.
