Event Details

The web belongs to all people.  Everyone who has a desire to get online should be able to take advantage of the information highway.  But we all know that isn't always the case and that some people are trying to control our fondly called interwebs. But OneWebDay is working to change that. For the last three years, OneWebDay has attracted a global network of partner organizations and individual activists committed to broadening the public’s awareness of Internet and Web issues while deepening a culture of participation in building a Web that works for everyone. On September 22, 2009, OneWebDay events will take place across the world when people who care about the future of the Web will joining together to elevate grassroots Digital Inclusion efforts.
