Demand Progress
Demand Progress is an internet activist-related 501(c)4 entity, with 501(c)3 sponsorship from the Citizen Engagement Lab Education Fund specializing in online-intensive and other grassroots activism to support Internet freedom, civil liberties, transparency, and human rights, and in opposition to censorship and corruption. The organization was founded through a petition in opposition to the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act, sparking the movement that eventually defeated COICA's successor bills, the Stop Online Piracy Act and the PROTECT IP Act, two highly controversial pieces of United States legislation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=How we stopped SOPA )〕
The organization has continued to fight for such causes in the wake of the successful shelving of these two acts. Demand Progress has also played key roles in forwarding the passage of net neutrality rules,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Net Neutrality Is Here - Thanks to an Unprecedented Guerrilla Activism Campaign )〕 blocking expansion of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=CFAA: Internet Activists Win First-Round Victory In Fight Over Anti-Hacking Law )〕 under which co-founder Aaron Swartz was indicted, and other key legislative efforts.
Estimated membership numbers in early 2015 weigh in at over two million. As of late 2013, the organization encompasses the Demand Progress, Rootstrikers and Watchdog.net wings/brands,
