Here’s How The Internet’s Net Neutrality Day Of Action Unfolded
By Colin Lecher for The Verge - Today, some of the world’s biggest internet companies and activist groups are coming together to protest the FCC’s proposed rollback of net neutrality protections.

The complete tally of groups and people involved in the protest, organized by activist group Fight for the Future, is massive, so any list will necessarily be incomplete.
