Join us for the Net2NMI Google Hangout on the FCC’s Internet Slow Lane proposal – June 14 at 12pm ET / 11am CT / 9am PT
If you value the Internet, it’s time to speak out – or risk being forced into an Internet slow lane.
On Saturday June 14 at Noon ET (11am CT / 9am PT), Net2 Northern Michigan invites you to join an online round-table discussion to learn how to submit comments on the Federal Communication Commission’s proposed Internet rules, and what a potential loss of net neutrality could mean for you. Net2 has chapters around North America that create local-meetups for change makers in the technology and non-profit world.
Whether you work in the business, education, nonprofit, or government sectors, or just use the Internet for personal communication, then you need to be aware of the full implications of what the FCC is proposing.
The roundtable discussion will be broadcast as a Google Hangout and will be streamed to YouTube. The event is free and all are encouraged to participate. Those who join through Gogole Hangouts will be able to ask questions in a Q&A section. As well, the Twitter hashtags #net2nmi and #net2nmhangouts will be available throughout the day to ask questions.
Participants will include members of Net2 Northern Michigan, as well as OpenMedia’s own Campaigns Coordinator, Josh Tabish (@jdtabish). To learn more about the implications of the FCC’s proposed rules, you can read Josh’s recent article published by Common Dreams here.
And, if you’re looking to take action on this issue, please let the FCC know that we don’t deserve to be forced into an Internet slow lane at https://OpenMedia.org/SlowLane.
