Hi,

It’s been over six years since Donald Trump–appointed FCC Commissioner
Ajit Pai repealed net neutrality protections.^1

But now the FCC has proposed restoring net neutrality and Title II
authority, and we’re closer than ever to victory.

Tomorrow is the very last day the FCC will accept public comments on its
proposal to restore open internet protections, and we need a major push
right now to overcome the Comcast and the Big Cable lobbyists trying to
block it.

Net neutrality requires internet service providers like Comcast and
Verizon to treat all websites, apps, and content the same. That means ISPs
can’t create slow lanes for regular people like you and me, and fast lanes
for their own content.^2

This foundational principle is what has allowed the very best parts of the
internet to flower and grow. Net neutrality allows small startups and
grassroots organizations to compete on a level playing field with giant
corporations.

When the FCC proposed to restore net neutrality late last year, Demand
Progress Action joined with over 30 partner organizations to relaunch
BattleForTheNet.com, so people can tell the FCC and Congress why the
policy is vital to them. In less than three months, there have been over
85,000 actions on the site.

But Comcast alone has spent tens of millions of dollars on campaign
contributions and lobbying. So to overcome their opposition, we must keep
pushing every day until we win Title II authority and net neutrality is
restored to guarantee a free and open internet for all.^3

[ [link removed] ]Yes, I’ll chip in $10 to Demand Progress Action to help
restore net neutrality, and push for other key reforms.

With gratitude for all that you do,

The team at Demand Progress Action
