Limelight Social & Sex Club presents "Fight for Second Life," a Net Neutrality awareness event. Sept. 12, 2017

When it comes to Net Neutrality, many people are absolutely clueless as to what it is and how it can impact their internet use and even their very lives.  

Additionally, there are many who use Second Life not only as a form of entertainment but also to conduct business in which they generate a real income.

Limelight is happy to announce our second event to promote Net Neutrality awareness and action.

On September 12, 2017, we will hold 24 hours of events at our club and encourage other clubs to do the same. 

As with our first event in July, we will have a donation box, and all donations will be sent to the Electronic Frontier Foundation (http://eff.org).  We have donation boxes available for clubs that would like to promote Net Neutrality awareness on the 12th with us.  They are available free of charge by simply contacting Misticia Moonwall or Mackenzie Souther.

We're also providing articles so people can educate themselves further on the subject and also contact their representatives in order to effect change at BattleforSecondLife.wordpress.com.

Hope to see you there, and let's keep the internet free!

About the National Breast Cancer Foundation

The National Breast Cancer Foundation was founded in 1991 by breast cancer survivor, Janelle Hail.  She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1980 at the age of 34.  At the time of her diagnosis, there was little information about the disease, and she was forced to make a decision about her health with few options.  After her treatment, Janelle made a commitment to help women around the world by educating them about breast cancer and the importance of early detection.  NBCF’s mission is to save lives through early detection and to provide mammograms for those in need.  This mission includes increasing awareness through education, providing diagnostic breast care services for those in need, and providing nurturing support services.
