Help us keep up the fight for real Net Neutrality.
Dear Haruna,
Your phone calls, emails and persistence have paid off: Today the Senate voted down the resolution that would have shuttered the open Internet.
This outrageous measure would have stripped us of our right to communicate freely online and handed control of the Internet to companies like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon.
But the public outcry stopped this resolution in its tracks. And thanks to your efforts, not only did we win the vote, but Net Neutrality’s champions in Congress spoke out passionately and persuasively about the importance of the free and open Internet.
Now that we’ve thwarted this partisan stunt, we can get back to the real priority: strengthening the Federal Communications Commission’s rules to protect all Internet users, whether they access the Web via a home connection or a mobile device.
Donate $25 now to help us make the FCC’s Net Neutrality rules strong enough to protect all Internet users.
The FCC’s new rules go into effect on Nov. 20. But these rules fail to protect mobile Internet users from corporate abuse. As more and more of us use phones and tablets to get online, we need to make sure that all Internet users are protected.
In the months to come, the Free Press Action Fund will be pushing the FCC to make its Open Internet rules much stronger — even if that means going to court, where we are suing the agency for failing to safeguard users of wireless devices.
Donate $25 today. Help us keep up the fight for real Net Neutrality.
Today’s Senate vote is a major victory for the public and sends a resounding message: The American people don’t want companies like AT&T, Comcast and Verizon blocking websites or interfering with our ability to access whatever we want, whenever we want it, from wherever we are.
The fight for the open Internet is far from over. I hope you’ll stay with us. Please donate today.
Thanks,
Craig Aaron
President and CEO

P.S. Your gift to help secure real Net Neutrality will pack twice the punch. If we can raise $300,000 by Dec. 31, two longtime supporters will kick in an additional $300,000. Please donate today. Thanks!
