Net neutrality is Sisters Slave (2019)in jeopardy. It's time for you to take action.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which is the U.S. government's media regulator, is planning to completely scrap Obama-era rules protecting the idea that the internet should be an even playing field. Without these rules, the door is open for internet service providers like Verizon, AT&T, and Comcast to potentially favor or discriminate against certain content and services, accept money for preferential treatment, or even charge users more for better access.
Put simply: online free speech, innovation, and creativity are at stake.
SEE ALSO: The U.S. government is using Thanksgiving to hide its plans to destroy net neutralityThe FCC and its chairman, Ajit Pai, are cleverly burying the news this week while much of the country is focused on the Thanksgiving holiday. Voting on the rules is expected to take place as early as Dec. 14.
But you can join the fight immediately in one major way: call your representatives.
Your lawmakers in Congress have the power to stop the FCC's elimination of net neutrality rules, and as we've seen time and time again, calling your reps actually works.
Here are a few tools that will help you contact your members of Congress, demand a free and fair internet, and make your voice heard.
Be sure to also educate yourself on the topic of net neutrality, and keep your eyes peeled for protests across the country, online and off.
