 The FCC’s Net Neutrality proposal just leaked, and it’s terrible. Four
million people spoke out against “slow lanes” and cable company censorship,
and the FCC’s rules explicitly open the door for that kind of abuse. From
what we’re hearing, they’re finalizing the rules right now. We can still
stop this, but we have to act swiftly and show a strong response right away.
We need an emergency protest in Washington, DC. Sign up and spread the word!
<http://act.demandprogress.org/go/1383?t=1&akid=2753.1627305.1k6WZ9>
Here’s the plan: we need to send a strong message to President Obama and
the FCC right now that the Internet using public won’t just roll over and
let them take our rights away. So, taking some inspiration from mass
protests in Hungary that just defeated an unfair Internet Tax there, we’ll
gather after dark at the White House and government buildings nationwide
and hold up our glowing cell phones, laptops, tablets, to shine light on
the corruption unfolding in Washington, DC that threatens our most basic
freedoms.
Will you join us on Thursday at the White House in Washington, DC? If you
can’t make it, can you spread the word?
Yes, I'll share or go to the action in Washington, DC on Thursday!
<http://act.demandprogress.org/go/1383?t=2&akid=2753.1627305.1k6WZ9>
The battle for the net is coming to head. Everything you can do right now
matters more than you know. Here are the details for the event, please
spread the word:
*What: Vigil in front of the White House for the open Internet*
*When: November 6th, 6pm EST*
*Where : Gather in Lafayette Park, Washington DC (North Front of the White
House)*
*Bring: your cell phone, laptop, tablet, flashlight or candle to hold aloft
in protest!*

 See you there,
Demand Progress
