We''re not through with this

From Free Press Action Fund:

This has been a historic day in the fight to save the Internet.

The rally outside the FCC was inspiring: Hundreds of people (and even some kids) chanted, drummed and streamed into the FCC demanding reclassification and real Net Neutrality. Thousands more are taking action online at may15.savetheinternet.com. And we put the FCC on notice, making one thing crystal clear: A pay-for-priority Internet is unacceptable.

You've been part of an enormous public outcry — and it's having an impact.

Here’s what happened today: FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler introduced his rules, which would let ISPs charge for priority treatment. Meanwhile, Commissioners Mignon Clyburn and Jessica Rosenworcel spoke out in support of prohibitions on paid prioritization and other forms of discrimination.

Lets get pumped for the fight ahead.

The Commission says it wants to hear from the public; it will be hearing from us a lot more in the months ahead. As this fight stretches into the fall, we'll repeat our demands over and over again: No fast lanes on the Internet. We need REAL Net Neutrality.

We’ll file comments with the FCC. We'll urge President Obama to reiterate his support for the open Internet. We’ll step up our organizing — online, in the streets and on Capitol Hill. We’ll keep the issue front and center in the news and in people’s minds. At every turn we’ll remind the FCC that it work for us, not the ISPs.

We won't stop fighting until we win, no matter how long it takes. With you by our side we know we'll get there.

Thanks for all that you do—
