Posted by Alexis Ohanian on
It started as a random idea. Thanks to crowdtilt it became a reality: two billboards outside the offices of Lamar Smith in Austin and San Antonio. Then came the shirts. You can still buy them for $20 -- 15% of each sale goes to Fight for the Future! Thanks to all of you, we raised $591 for internet freedom from the first pre-order batch alone.
