The nationwide drumbeat in support of real Net Neutrality is getting louder and louder.
And this week we had some real wins: Two FCC commissioners raised doubts about a plan that would kill Net Neutrality. Close to 150 Internet companies — including Amazon, Facebook, Google and Twitter — told the FCC that online innovation requires strong rules that protect the open Internet. And nearly 100 organizations — including Consumers Union, Free Press and MoveOn — also came out against the FCC's plans.
The fight to scrap Chairman Tom Wheeler's awful proposal is gaining ground. Next up: We go straight to the FCC’s doorstep on May 15th.
On that day, thousands of activists, organizations and companies will participate online and off to oppose the FCC’s plan to kill the open Internet and allow rampant discrimination online.
It's no surprise that the fight for real Net Neutrality is gaining so much steam. The FCC’s plan would allow telecom giants like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon to pick winners and losers online, creating fast lanes for those who can pay — and dirt roads for the rest of us.
That’s why so many of us are speaking up: If the FCC doesn't throw out these rules, we can say goodbye to the Internet we love.
We’ll be in touch with more info in the coming days. For now, visit may15.savetheinternet.com and spread the word.
Thanks for all that you do—

P.S. Our campaign to raise $50,000 in 15 days to protect Net Neutrality is going strong. A generous donor will match all funds if we reach our goal. Help us get there. Thank you!
