News has leaked that the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is advancing a “hybrid” Internet proposal that will allow cable companies to discriminate and block Internet access. The move by the FCC blatantly ignores the demands of more than 4 million public comments demanding for lasting real Title II net neutrality.
Fight For the Future, in alliance with other such movements is organizing a US nationwide vigil to show to the White House, the FCC, and the world, that we will not let corrupt politicians take away the open Internet, and we want net neutrality.
Today, November 6th, if your are in Washington, and if you are willing, please gather at the White House and across government buildings nationwide holding the cell phones, candles, and flashlights up to shine light on the corruption that is unfolding in Washington, DC, and demand a free and uncensored Internet for all [Lafayette Park, Washington DC (North Front of the White House), at 6 PM EST].
In fact, it is not only at Washington, DC, but similar protests are planned throughout the United States, from Chicago to Austin, and from San Francisco to Boston. Check out the live map of planned protests here [http://www.popularresistance.org/internet-emergency/].
Even if you are not a US citizen, you can join the protest, as you will represent the others like me, who are far away, but there in spirit. If you would like to attend a vigil near you, take your phone, a flashlight, or candle. Take a sign calling for #RealNetNeutrality too. Once you're at the event, tweet with the hashtag #RealNetNeutrality to show that you are taking part. If you would like to create an action in your area, use the map and publicize the event with your friends and social networks.
