For those who don’t know, today is the first annual One Web Day — a day in which people around the globe are encouraged to celebrate the World Wide Web and what it means to them.

One Web Day is the brainchild of Cardozo Law Professor, and CDT Policy Fellow Susan Crawford, one of our oldest and closest allies in the technology policy sphere.

It’s difficult to put into words what the Web means for CDT. We were founded more than ten years ago to defend the Web and the other tools that were reshaping the nature of communications against regulations that would have stifled the Web’s emergence as a fundamentally democratizing global medium.

One Web Day organizers carried off an impressive array of live events around the world, from Bulgaria to California to Tokyo. Check here for a full list.

One Web Day is September 22, every year. We’re looking forward to many more happy returns.
