#MEMEAct

#MEMEAct:

The internet is the modern public square—and memes are one of its most powerful tools for communication, creativity, and critique. But right now, the laws that govern digital content don’t reflect how we actually use and share media. That’s where the #MEMEAct comes in.

The Making Essentials of Memes and Expression (MEME) Act is a bold, much-needed step toward protecting the right to remix and comment on culture online. Whether you’re adding text to a viral video, using a movie still to make a point, or crafting the perfect reaction GIF, your creative expression shouldn’t be at legal risk simply because you’re reusing copyrighted material.

The MEME Act would modernize copyright law to explicitly defend fair use in online parody, commentary, and non-commercial remixing—something that’s long overdue. Right now, creators often face takedowns, content blocks, and even legal threats just for participating in meme culture. That’s not just unfair—it’s a threat to free speech and digital culture as we know it.

If you believe in an open internet where creativity thrives, it’s time to speak up. Share your support, tag your representatives, and make some noise with the hashtag #MEMEAct.

Let’s protect the memes. Let’s protect our voices.
