Friend, Welcome to the internet-wide day of action to save Net Neutrality! Today we join thousands of companies, organizations and individuals who are taking action to protect the open internet from Trump, his FCC chairman and greedy corporations. Today we need as many people as possible to weigh in and stop the FCC chairman’s nefarious plan to destroy our internet freedom. Will you send a comment to the FCC in favor of Net Neutrality? Could you call your members of Congress and tell them that the FCC’s Net Neutrality rules are working — and to leave them alone? We have a tool that makes taking action super-easy: Through our Battle for the Net website it takes just a few clicks to send a comment to the FCC and call Congress. After you submit your comment, the site will prompt you to enter your phone number and will call you — connecting you with each of your congresspeople. The fight for Net Neutrality is about safeguarding internet freedom: Thanks to the FCC’s Title II Net Neutrality rules, we’re able to surf the web without internet service providers controlling what we see or do online, or charging us even more to access certain content. Unfortunately these same ISPs have joined forces with the Trump administration and FCC Chairman Ajit Pai to try to gut these online protections. Today we’re calling on all internet users to take action — will you stand up for the open internet? Net Neutrality is about preserving your civil rights and free speech online. If corporations control the internet, they control the most important communication and organizing tool of our time — and they could use this to censor political speech and crush movements for racial, gender and economic justice. We’re doing all we can to stop this from happening, but to win this fight we need to put pressure on both the FCC and Congress. Companies like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon wield too much influence over our representatives and regulators — and we need to activate people power to resist them on all fronts. This is a lot of work, and yet — thanks to people like you — we believe we will win. Thanks for standing up for the open internet— Lucia, Candace, Dutch and the rest of the Free Press Action Fund team P.S. TODAY is the internet-wide day of action to save Net Neutrality.
