This is the website for Internet2016, a campaign to put Internet issues on the national agenda during 2016 US presidential elections. No matter who is elected, we need the next president of the US to voice his or her support for the free and open Internet.

This is a jekyll website hosted on github pages. Jekyll is a static site generator that uses the Liquid templating system. Content is written in markdown and there are layout templates that jekyll uses to generate static pages. gh-page
is the main branch and any code pushed to it will end up on the live site.
Running this project locally allows you to make changes and preview them before you push them to the live site.
18 Million Rising has a very good step-by-step guide that explains how to install jekyll, fork a repository on github and run a jekyll project locally. This website follows the same pattern, so I recommend going through that guide to get going.
We welcome feedback, comments, suggested changes, remixes, etc. The best place to offer feedback is on the principles that make up the policy platform (which is located in _posts/principles
).

Maybe/probably. There will be a more formal way to do this the future, but for now if you have an organization/company/club whatever and you want to join this campaign, you can add an issue here on github indicating that you're interested with the name of your org and how to contact you.
