CALL TO ACTION
Net neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers and governments regulating most of the Internet must treat all data on the Internet the same, and not discriminate or charge differently by user, content, website, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or method of communication.
This BASIC PRINCIPLE is at risk! We, the people, cannot allow this to go unchecked! Join us as we demand a free and fair internet for all!
Share this information so people can act immediately to stop the FCC!
On Dec. 7th, there will be nationwide protests at Verizon locations around the country. Why Verizon? According to the protest organizers, FCC Chair "Ajit Pai is a former top lawyer for Verizon, and the company has been spending millions on lobbying and lawsuits to kill net neutrality so they can gouge us all for more money. By protesting at Verizon stores, we’re shining light on the corruption and demanding that our local do something about it. Only Congress has the power to stop Verizon's puppet FCC, so at the protests we'll be calling and tweeting at legislators, and in cities where it's possible we'll march from Verizon stores to lawmakers offices."
Let's show Verizon that the DC revolving door won't help them, because THE PEOPLE are coming and we demand a just internet!

Once the Dec. 14th vote is held, it could become much, much harder to stop ISPs such as Comcast, DirecTV, Time Warner/Spectrum, and others, from charging us all extra fees to access streaming services like YouTube, Netflix, iTunes, -- and they can demand payment from independent artists and labels, stifling independent voices.
👉 Repeal of Net Neutrality would allow companies like Comcast, to charge you MORE for binge watching your favorite shows or accessing your favorite websites, ON TOP of your Netflix subscription AND the internet access you already pay for.

🤔 "What do I tell them? "
When you get through to your Rep's office, introduce yourself, be polite, and say:
💬 I support Title Two net neutrality rules and I urge you to oppose the FCC's plan to repeal them. Specifically, I'd like you to contact the FCC Chairman and demand he abandon his current plan."
