- (Some sort of short call to action)**
The Web lets us speak out, share, and connect around the things that matter. It creates new opportunities, holds governments to account, breaks through barriers, and makes cats famous. This isn't a coincidence. It's because the Web belongs to all of us. We all get a say in how it's built.
Mozilla has made it our mission to keep the power of the web in people's hands. But all this could change on December 3.
Our governments are going to meet in Dubai to decide whether an old treaty, the International Telecommunication Union, can be expanded to regulate - to control - the Internet.
This issue isn't whether our governments, the UN, or even the ITU should play a role in shaping the Web. We believe everyone should have a voice.
The problem is that they are planning to meet behind closed doors, in secret, and make decisions that will affect all of us. Without talking to us. Or even letting us know what they plan to discuss.
(Something like "this is what needs to change." or "This is what can't stand.")
This site is to help us - help you - be heard in Dubai.
