Act Now to Save Net Neutrality from Trump's FCC Meddling

There’s still time to take action to defend net neutrality. Websites like Reddit, PornHub, Change.org and more have taken a stand on the policy and are directing their users to contact Congress in order to stop the FCC from essentially breaking the internet.

If you want the internet to stay the same, the best way to take action is to reach out to your members of Congress and tell them how you feel. Net neutrality activists at Battle for the Net have made it simple for you to get your message to the right elected official with

. Once you’ve contacted your representatives, share your actions on

Facebook

or

Twitter

to get others in your social network to weigh in as well. Also, it’s not just internet browsers that could be affected by a net neutrality repeal. Apps on mobile devices could experience a change in service if the FCC’s rollback is put in effect.

Use your social apps to continue the conversation about protecting net neutrality by sharing these materials on Instagram and Snapchat so that people in your network are aware of what’s at stake before the vote.

Also, Defiant Network, a grassroots campaign organization, has joined the fight for the net neutrality by launching the #RIPinternet initiative. They’ve partnered with Free Press Action Fund and Public Knowledge in an effort to the keep the internet free from the influence of ISPs.

Their net-neutrality advocacy has gained attention from Mark Ruffalo, The Women's March, Adrien Grenier, and more. Defiant Network is asking people to take a stand by sharing the image above on Instagram or buying flowers for the internet that they will send to the FCC in memoriam of net neutrality.

On December 7, thousands of people in more than 700 cities across the country gathered in front of Verizon stores and Congressional offices to demand that the government leaves net neutrality in place.

People are finding creative digital ways to protest as well. On Facebook, users are editing their life event details to “marry” net neutrality.

Also, on LinkedIn, the professional social network, people are changing their job titles and employers to defending net neutrality.

Whether you’re willing to protest in person or raise awareness through social media, get involved in the fight to defend net neutrality before it’s too late.
