Hi,

BREAKING NEWS: Federal Communications Commission Chair Jessica Rosenworcel
just announced that the agency is moving forward with plans to restore net
neutrality!^1

This is our chance to finally undo the damage done during the Trump
administration by former FCC Chair Ajit Pai — but Comcast and their Big
Cable allies will do everything in their power to block, delay, or weaken
these net neutrality protections. We need to start right now mobilizing
grassroots support for the free and open internet.

Net neutrality is the bedrock principle of the free and open internet,
which requires that all data on the internet be treated equally.

Without strong net neutrality protections, Comcast can prioritize some
apps and websites over others, dumping everyday people on an internet slow
lane. All the best things about the internet — the creativity, innovation,
diversity of voices — are made possible because of net neutrality.^2

During the Trump administration, FCC Chair and former Verizon lawyer Ajit
Pai repealed net neutrality. Then, after President Biden came into office
promising to restore net neutrality, telecom giants used nasty smear
campaigns and mountains of cash to prevent President Biden from filling
the open seat on the FCC for two years.^3

Finally, earlier this month, after a massive grassroots mobilization by
Demand Progress and a broad coalition that we helped build, the Senate
confirmed Anna Gomez as the fifth and final tie-breaking seat on the
commission.

Now, with the FCC at full force and the restoration of net neutrality
closer than ever before, we need to continue to ramp up grassroots
pressure.

neutrality, and fight for other key reforms?
