Staggeringly, about 1.5 billion people live without electricity. They’re off the grid literally and figuratively, lacking a basic resource that’s so vital to economic development and well-being. But extending the grid isn’t always practical—in many cases logistical issues and high costs make it all but impossible. The solution: creating local, self-contained, affordable power generation and storage systems that can provide electricity wherever it’s needed.

We work for the Internet. And we’re guessing many of you do too. Whether it’s researching, selling, coding, supporting, designing — so many of our careers depend on the Internet.

One argument that’s been made to Congress is that the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is needed to protect American jobs. In truth, the new liabilities this bill would impose on startups could stop American innovation in its tracks.

To make this clear to Congress, we’ve built IWorkForTheInternet.org to show the world how many of our careers depend on the Internet.

If you work for the Internet, please add yourself and spread the word.
