Dear Supporter of Digital Freedom,

We did it! The Senate has voted to overturn the FCC’s decision to repeal net neutrality protections. But the battle doesn’t end there. We need to tell the House of Representatives to step up like the Senate did.

The FCC has announced that its repeal of net neutrality will go into effect on June 11. Net neutrality—the principle that Internet service providers must treat all data on the Internet equally and not block, throttle, or charge extra or access to it—has been vital to the growth of the Internet. The vast majority of Americans support net neutrality as its death only benefits companies like Comcast and AT&T. In less than a month, it will no longer be the law.

But, under the Congressional Review Act, Congress can overrule any regulation issued by a government agency with a simple majority. Congress has a limited period of time to act under these rules, which is why the Senate forced a vote and won with a majority of 52 to 47.

With that clock still ticking, we need to tell the House of Representatives to vote to restore the Open Internet Order. Please contact your representative and tell them to stand up for real net neutrality.

Restore the Open Internet Order

Thank you,
