It's happening: The FCC voted this week to begin the process of gutting Net Neutrality rules. Join the Net Neutrality or Bust organizing call on May 23 to learn how we plan to win this fight. Friend, This week we gathered nearly 100 activists and advocates outside the FCC headquarters to say it louder than ever: We're NEVER gonna give up Net Neutrality! Thursday morning's Rally to Save Net Neutrality featured music, loud chants and fiery speeches from the ACLU, the Center for Media Justice, Color Of Change, Common Cause, Demand Progress, EFF, CREDO Action, Faithful Internet, Free Press Action Fund, the National Hispanic Media Coalition, Popular Resistance and Public Knowledge. We heard from elected officials — Sens. Ed Markey and Ron Wyden and Reps. Barbara Lee and Jared Polis. And most importantly, you turned up the volume once again on our fight to save the open internet from Trump and Pai’s authoritarian agenda. Thursday’s rally made major headlines — and right now, we’ve already reached 1 million comments and signatures in the fight to build a massive Net Neutrality coalition once again. But this is only the beginning: We need your voice. Join our Net Neutrality or Bust organizing call on Tues., May 23.
