Will you call your representative on Thursday and ask them to support the petition to force a vote to restore net neutrality?
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has repealed net neutrality, kicking the door wide open for Big Cable companies to block and slow traffic online. But we’re doing what many thought impossible by getting closer and closer to convincing Congress to overturn the FCC.
The campaign for net neutrality continues, indeed is escalating over the summer. The coalition for net neutrality, which internet campaign, Protect Our Internet and Popular Resistance are part of, is increasing pressure on the House of Representatives to support a Resolution of Disapproval under the Congressional Review Act. We have passed the resolution in the Senate and are getting closer in the House with 176 votes out of the 218 needed.

Thanks to a massive public outcry, the Senate passed a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution that would reverse the FCC and restore net neutrality. Now, we’re just a few dozens of votes away from being able to pass the same resolution to save net neutrality in the House. It won’t be easy, but if any movement can pull this off, it’s the movement for an open internet.
