Today’s Action: Save Net Neutrality before April 23

With a new scandal rocking Trump’s White House seemingly every day, it’s easy to forget some of their egregious acts of Trump and his enablers in Congress.

But we can’t afford to forget — especially when it comes to Net Neutrality, because exploitation and manipulation of the internet is one of the big reasons we have President Trump right now.

Thankfully, there is still time to fight back.

Congress has until April 23 to protect the internet from Trump’s corporate telecom allies who stand to gain the ability to influence our internet searches and browsing speeds, and Senate Democrats need just one Republican to join them in passing a “resolution of disapproval” through the Congressional Review Act (CRA).

Call or email your Members of Congress and demand they use the CRA to overturn the FCC ruling and uphold net neutrality protections before April 23.

In December, Trump-appointed Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair Ajit Pai ignored overwhelming bipartisan outcry, including 50,000 signatures from the OD Action community, and removed Obama-era net neutrality protections, flinging open the doors for four massive telecom corporations to censor the web and raise prices for consumers.

This isn’t just about streaming our favorite shows (it’s about that too). Without net neutrality, every consumer will lose as corporations gain the power to determine what we consume, a change that could have devastating consequences on independent voices and allow Trump to pressure executives to silence his critics.

83% of voters support net neutrality, including 75% of Republicans. Congress can act now – but those who receive donations from telecom companies will need strong reminders who they work for.

Email or call (202.224.3121) your Members of Congress and demand their support for the CRA to overturn the FCC ruling, and keep our net neutrality protections intact. Remind them that we vote them into office, not telecom corporations – and we can vote them out.
