REMINDER: It's July 12, the Internet-wide day of action to save Net Neutrality

On Wednesday, July 12, Everyone Can Stand Up for Net Neutrality
Imagine a world without internet freedom. This week, a major protest on the web will show what it would be like.

Wednesday, July 12, is an internet-wide day of action to save net neutrality — and you can get involved.

Right now, fierce attacks on internet freedom are coming from the Trump White House, the Republican Congress, an FCC that once again has turned pro-big business and the giant telco companies like Comcast and Verizon that want to turn over control of cyberspace to the richest and most powerful.

Anyone can add alerts to their social media that will show the world what the web would look like without net neutrality. None of them actually will block, slow down or paywall your site. But, organizers note, “They will let your users submit a comment to the FCC and Congress without having to leave your platform.”

Most of the mail boxes were full but I was able to leave a few messages and speak to a few people.
