Today’s Action: A new chance to save Net Neutrality
Net Neutrality: it’s what keeps internet providers from deciding which sites we get high speed access to and which sites are more difficult for us to use.
And in December, Trump-appointed Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair Ajit Pai ignored overwhelming public 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 (including Verizon — Pai’s former employer) to censor the web and raise prices for consumers.
But Congress can still stop Pai’s big-business handout and restore protections. Senate Democrats need just one Republican to join them in passing a “resolution of disapproval” through the Congressional Review Act (CRA).
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.
PS — Please don’t forget to sign the petition calling on FedEx to stop supporting the NRA, and join the vast majority of Americans demanding Congress protect Dreamers NOW!
