If I fire up the Wikipedia app on my hone screen, I still have access to their database at my fingertips. However, later this afternoon when I shop for belts and I want more information about a particular brand (I'm very picky), I'm greeted with the slightly Twilight Zone screen below. Wikipedia is joined by other web giants Google, Reddit, and Craigslist, among others, in protesting the SOPA Bill and Senate counterpart PIPA.
For more information, this article from the Stanford Law Review dissects the legislation in fairly simple terms.
To get involved, the Wikipedia page is a great place to start.
