April 11, 2017, Evanston, IL……Last week, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai — a former Verizon lawyer — met with cable- and phone-company lobbyists to outline his plan to get rid of Net Neutrality.He wants to ditch the strong FCC rules that protect the open internet and instead ask internet service providers to “voluntarily” enforce Net Neutrality.
Keep in mind that these are the same companies that sued to overturn the Net Neutrality rules and are still fighting in Congress to undermine them.
While Congress is on recess over the next two weeks, we need to be mobilizing people like you to flood congressional offices and town halls and speak out about the NET NEUTRALITY ISSUE. We must lift up the voices of everyday people whose lives are most impacted in this fight, including media makers, communities of color and resistance fighters. Our ability to connect and communicate shouldn’t be up for sale, and we all are needed and must activate the masses to save the internet equality we all love.
We need to make this issue another win.
Contact your Congressional representatives in the US House and Senate over the next two weeks to advise them that you’re expecting them to support Net Neutrality. After you call these offices, please be sure to share this information with family and friends all over our nation.
Let’s win again!
