Join NowTHURSDAY: Open Internet Advocates in 19 Cities to Protest at Local FCC Offices In National Day of Action to ‘Save the Internet’
MoveOn, CREDO, Free Press Members to Protest in Communities Nationwide Demanding the FCC ‘Save the Internet’ and Protect Net Neutrality As It Meets to Consider Chairman Wheeler’s Proposal to Create a Two-Tiered Internet
In solidarity with the hundreds of people planning to demonstrate outside the Federal Communications Commission’s Washington, D.C. headquarters on Thursday, May 15, hundreds of MoveOn.org, CREDO Action, and Free Press members and activists in 19 cities across the country will protest outside of local FCC offices in their communities, urging FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler to honor President Obama’s promise to protect Net Neutrality. The Day of Action comes as the FCC is meeting to consider Chairman Wheeler’s proposal, which threatens to end the open Internet by creating a separate data fast-lane for those who can afford it.

“An open Internet levels the playing field in our democracy. That’s why it’s alarming that FCC Chair Tom Wheeler has proposed rules that would break President Obama’s promise to uphold Net Neutrality — rules that could destroy the Internet as we know it,” said Victoria Kaplan, lead campaign director of MoveOn.org Political Action. “MoveOn members strongly support Net Neutrality and are calling on the FCC to scrap proposed rules that would undermine an open Internet.”
The latest actions come on the heels of MoveOn.org Political Action launching a new TV ad this week in the DC market urging the FCC to keep President Obama’s promise to uphold net neutrality. Last week, more than 10,000 MoveOn members submitted stories and comments to the FCC demanding that the commission support real Net Neutrality. In their testimonies, MoveOn members explained how they could be personally harmed if the FCC does not restore real Net Neutrality.
