Today’s Action: Save Net Neutrality – the Senate votes soon!

Thanks to your calls, Senate Democrats have forced the vote on a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution of disapproval which, if passed, is the first step towards saving Net Neutrality.

With a new scandal rocking Trump’s White House seemingly every day, it’s easy to forget some of the 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.

The Senate must vote on the resolution of disapproval by June 12. If the vote were today, the bill would pass 50-49, but we cannot afford to let up.

Call or email your Senators and demand they protect Net Neutrality by voting yes on the CRA resolution of disapproval.

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 give Trump leverage to silence his critics.

83% of voters support net neutrality, including 75% of Republicans. The Senate must vote by June 12 – 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 they support Net Neutrality by voting yes on the CRA resolution of disapproval. Remind them that we vote them into office, not telecom corporations – and we can vote them out.
