BREAKING NEWS: The Senate voted to save net neutrality. Now we need the House of Representatives to do the same, or else the FCC will let ISPs like Comcast and Verizon ruin the internet with throttling, censorship and unnecessary fees. Write your lawmakers now!
Voters from across the political spectrum agree they don't want their cable company to control what they see and do online. The FCC's reckless repeal has sparked an unprecedented backlash. The numbers below are only what we know about through BattleForTheNet.com and partners. These are constituents calling on lawmakers to stop the FCC and save net neutrality:
Below is a list of notable websites, companies, and organizations who have confirmed their participation in the RED ALERT action.
Starting on May 9th the Internet went on Red Alert contact Congress in support of net neutrality … and it worked. The Senate voted to block the FCC’s repeal of net neutrality. Because we still need the House of Representatives to block the FCC’s repeal, you can still put your website or social media accounts on Red Alert to raise awareness.
