[spectre] Write our speech to the UN Human Rights Council!

[Franck Ancel]

*Access has been invited to speak at a UN Human Rights Council event on 
Friday in Geneva on the topic of internet freedom in front of foreign 
ministers, UN ambassadors, and other high-level foreign officials.*

Over the last few weeks you've been a big part of our efforts to promote 
digital freedom around the globe, now together we have a chance to tell 
the UN, in front of the world's media, what they should be doing to 
support digital rights, *and we'd like you to help us write the speech!*

There are a few occasions when we have the attention of our leaders, and 
it's at these moments, that *we must unify our voices to have them heard 
clearly. Please take a moment to click on the link below and fill out 
our survey and add your comments* and we'll include your thoughts in our 
speech on Friday:

We at Access want to ensure that all parties -- including you -- have a 
seat at the table as we share the stage with government officials and 
corporate representatives

. *At a time when internet freedom has been under threat from dictators, 
corporations, and other interests, we want to make sure that world 
leaders hear your ideas on what can be done to protect freedom of 
internet access. *Please follow the link below and complete the survey 
to give us your ideas and suggestions for the speech on Friday:

As the world has seen in the last six weeks, the internet has become a 
platform for revolutionary change, but also exploitation and oppression. 
If world leaders don't hear your voice, your interests won't be 
represented in the defining actions that they take. *The digital 
landscape is changing at every turn, use your voice, in concert with 
other members of the Access global movement, to make sure this change 
protects, not diminishes, our digital rights.*

We want to hear about the issues that are important to YOU, so Access 
can present them to the UN Human Rights Council. In addition, *we've 
helped put together a set of 10 principles we believe should govern the 
internet. We want to know what you think of them!*

This is your chance. Let them hear your voice. Write our speech!
