People talked to each other way before the internet. We spoke around campfires, dinner tables, and in town halls, we wrote letters and sent each other telegrams. But as the world evolved and with it, the technology which makes communication simpler, the way we speak to each other has become often careless, crass and even abusive.
Now is the time to make a stand for a better, more tolerant society that starts with a civil web. To create a space where everyone can voice their ideas and opinions, no matter what those are, freely and without fear of abuse.
Each of us has the power to effect change, and our collective voice can move mountains.
The #CivilWeb movement aims to raise awareness to toxicity and incivility, to empower individuals to take the web back from the trolls, and to hold ourselves and one another to a higher standard of interaction.
Our goal is to build a community of advocates and to develop solutions that empower and strengthen civility online. To create a better, more civil web, for a better, more civil society.
We are the comments we make.
Join us on June 10th as we launch the #CivilWeb movement online, show your support, help us spread the word. Let’s make the web more civil together.
