#fair internet

The FCC is repealing net neutrality, but we can stop them by using the Congressional Review Act (CRA). We need one more vote to win in the Senate, and we're launching an Internet-wide push to get it. Fill out the form. We’ll help you contact Congress and send you alerts about the day of action.

WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON FEBRUARY 27

Websites, Internet users, and online communities will come together to harness our power to secure the #OneMoreVote we need to pass the CRA resolution in the Senate. We'll provide tools for everyone to make it super easy for your followers / visitors to take action. From the SOPA blackout to the Internet Slowdown, we've shown time and time again that when the Internet comes together, we can stop censorship and corruption. Now, we have to do it again!

The FCC voted to kill net neutrality on December 14, 2017. But Congress can block their repeal using the Congressional Review Act (CRA). It takes a simple majority in the Senate and House. It can't be blocked by leadership, and there can be no amendments or filibusters. We already have 50 votes committed in the Senate, so we just need one more to win! Then we take the fight to the House where there are already more than 100 cosponsors. We'll need 218 votes there to win. Let's get started!

SITES: DISPLAY AN ALERT

On February 27, sites from across the web will display a prominent alert on their homepage to flood the Senate with messages in support of using the CRA to overturn the FCC's vote to destroy net neutrality. To use these them, you just need to embed a bit of javascript in the header of your site. Click here to try them out, and then be sure to grab the code on GitHub. If you're a Cloudflare user, try out their Battle for the Net app. And for Wordpress, use their plug-in here.

Feel free to use these alerts, our other alerts, or create a unique message that makes sense for your site. If you choose to create a custom alert, please make sure to link your users to battleforthenet.com so they can contact their Senators.

HELP US GET CREATIVE!

“The internet must be fast, fair and open. That is the message I’ve heard from consumers and innovators across this nation. That is the principle that has enabled the internet to become an unprecedented platform for innovation and human expression. And that is the lesson I learned heading a tech startup at the dawn of the internet age. The proposal I present to the commission will ensure the internet remains open, now and in the future, for all Americans.”

PLEASE NOTE: This article is from 2015 and many things have changed in the FCC. We are posting it, though, to help emphasize why net neutrality is important to maintain. 

Do you like the internet? Of course you do.

"On February 26, the FCC will be meeting to decide between two options for the future of the internet: The open, fair, democratic internet that we all know and love. (Net Neutrality) Or a ruthlessly inefficient internet where ISPs (Internet Service Providers) get to pick and choose whose content gets priority, whose gets slowed down, and whose might never get transmitted at all."

Here are 3 links and a video that simply explain Net Neutrality and "help you contact your congressperson and tell them how, through Title II protection, they can ensure that traffic keeps moving for everybody on the internet, and no one gets left behind."
