Message: From GoLocalProv by Aaron Regunberg, GoLocalProv MINDSETTER™: Two weeks ago today, progressive champion and internet visionary Aaron Swartz took his own life. At the age of 26, Aaron had already accomplished more than most of us could dream of doing in a lifetime—he helped develop the RSS web feed format (which is what allows blogs and other feeds to frequently update content); he co-founded the popular site Reddit; he was one of the original organizers of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee; and he co-founded the advocacy group Demand Progress and led the ultimately successful fight last year against SOPA, the internet censorship bill that, without Aaron’s quixotic campaign, would have passed Congress and greatly limited our ability to openly access information in this country. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/aaron-regunberg-the-loss-of-an-incredible-soul
