The latest #NetNeutrality update has been posted to District Dispatch. It includes ways that you can get involved today.
If you haven’t already, take some time to call or email your Senators and Representatives. Ask them to support net neutrality and tell them how your libraries benefit from strong, enforceable net neutrality protections.
Join protests online with some suggested social media messages on December 13 and 14:
Hey @AjitPaiFCC – America’s 120,000 libraries depend on equitable
and robust access to the internet to serve our communities. We need
#netneutrality!
.@FCC – Our libraries’ digital collections, podcasts, video
tutorials, and more rely on an open internet. @AjitPaiFCC, keep
#netneutrality!
#netneutrality is the First Amendment of the internet. @FCC, please
protect the right to read, create and share freely without commercial
gatekeepers.
OR tell us a story about what net neutrality means for your library and tag @ALALibrary, @FCC, @AjitPaiFCC
It’s helped me with some of my depressed episodes, find new friends, listen to awesome music… And without it… Everything will go bad.
If we lose it, Everything will just go to shit. People will struggle to use the internet AND have a normal wage, causing costs for everything to go up, causing poverty to skyrocket, causing havoc across this “great nation” of ours.
It needs to stay. No matter what, It has to. It’s become this incredible thing, and nobody should be enslaved to these companies. Please. We can do this.
Rep Virginia Foxx’s local office phone has been disconnected, which is the one Google automatically shows you. But her DC one hasn’t been. I was able to contact her there.
If you can’t reach your representative at their local office, you can still contact them at their DC office!
Alright kids, we literally have less than two days to protect the internet 😩. So don’t be stupid, stupid. Go to: battleforthenet.com ,text “resist” to 50409, do all that you can. Don’t screw this up, don’t give more power to those with already too much.
