Protest Against Rollback of Net Neutrality: Milwaukee

5:00 pm to 6:00 pm

Join us outside the Verizon Store in Wauwatosa to fight for Net Neutrality.

Net neutrality is the First Amendment of the internet. It protects our free speech in the digital age. Members of Congress must call on Chairman Pai to abandon his current plan to kill net neutrality because it will allow Internet providers to control what we see and do online.

“Title Two” is the legal foundation for net neutrality protections. It prevents companies like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T from charging us all extra fees to access the websites, apps, and online services we depend on, and manipulating what we see with throttling, blocking, and censorship.

Net neutrality gives more people a voice than ever before. It’s what has made the Internet such a powerful platform for anyone who wasn’t given a voice or fair treatment by mainstream media. Without net neutrality, vulnerable communities would lose access to a critical platform for organizing and storytelling. Net neutrality repeal would be particularly devastating to communities of color, rural communities and low-income communities. 

If the FCC’s plan to undermine Title II net neutrality goes through, we will have a corporate-managed internet where it’s harder for us to share and access the sort of content that makes the Internet so powerful. We demand that our Senators and Representatives speak out against the FCC’s plan.
