JUST ONE INITIATIVE: Can We Count on You to Sign Up Just One More Friend?

On June 1st, the Stop.Think.Connect. Campaign asked you to help double our coalition of Friends by recruiting Just One more person to join the effort to promote Internet safety.  The Just One Initiative aims to double the number of campaign Friends by June 30.

Why are we doing this?  As a result of our Friends’ diligent efforts over the past eight months, we have been able to promote and raise awareness across the country about cybersecurity and safe online habits that will not only help protect individuals and their families, but also the national and economic security interests of our Nation.

Friends across the country have collectively hosted 16 Cyber Citizen Forums, submitted creative Public Service Announcement (PSA) Challenge video entries, and enlisted both public and private sector support to help spread the Stop.Think.Connect. message.  These achievements occurred because of our Friends’ hard work.  Just imagine what can be accomplished if the group doubled its size from over 8,000-strong to 16,000-strong.

The Stop.Think.Connect. Campaign encourages anyone interested in joining to visit the Friends of the Campaign page at www.dhs.gov/stopthinkconnect.  By encouraging Just One individual to join the Stop.Think.Connect. Campaign, we can help ensure that cyberspace is a safer environment for generations of Americans to come.
