For the US, part of the plan is to get people to call their congress people and get them
to oppose the legislation (and by having so many telephone calls, make it clear that this
is a big issue). So the blackout isn't the only part of this, just the most
publicly-visible part.
I'm really not sure what we can do to help in the UK, though....

Good question.
In reality the black-out IS the protest. Phoning the US embassy or
contacting our MPs not really going to have much of an impact is it?

What is the official UK call to action here?
Emailing the embassy? Or could you create a Number10-esque petition?
Or did I miss something else entirely?
I'm wondering too ... we need to know ASAP.
