We’re blown away by the response to our campaign: 88,000 people (and counting!) have signed the open letter to Defend the Internet Archive and Protect the Wayback Machine.

That’s 88,000 voices standing up for preservation, access to knowledge, and the idea that libraries should be able to do the critical work of preserving culture—even in the digital age.

Your support couldn’t come at a more important time. The judge presiding over the lawsuit has extended a stay while the parties continue to work towards a resolution. The new stay extends through June 4th.

What’s next?

This is a critical moment as we head towards June 4th. And you can help.

🎯 Let’s get to 100,000 signatures.

Together, we’ve built something powerful—let’s keep going.

Thank you again for being part of this movement. The Internet Archive exists because people like you believe that the past shouldn’t disappear—and that the tools to preserve it are worth fighting for.

Onward,
—The Internet Archive Team
