The American Association of School Librarians (AASL), a division of the American Library Association, has designed September 28, 2016 "Banned Websites Awareness Day."

From the AASL website:

To raise awareness of the overly restrictive blocking of legitimate, educational websites and academically useful social networking tools in schools and school libraries, AASL has designated one day during Banned Books Week as Banned Websites Awareness Day. On Wednesday, September 28, AASL asks school librarians and other educators to promote an awareness of how overly restrictive filtering affects student learning.
