Since the Trump FCC voted to kill Net Neutrality, public support for the free and open internet has grown in strength and size. The amazing momentum was on display at events held in Louisiana on Jan. 30 and then yesterday in Alaska, Colorado and Nevada.
Kathy Bradley, Anne Dachowski and Daryl Shute are among the hundreds of people who have posted their Net Neutrality stories online. I spoke with these activists about the ways in which they rely on the open internet.
Activists from across the country recently traveled to Washington, D.C., to tell their lawmakers that they oppose FCC Chairman Ajit Pai’s effort to destroy Net Neutrality. Sean Frame, Spencer Graves and Lesley Perg are a few of the Team Internet activists who are challenging companies like Comcast and AT&T.
We’re seeing an unprecedented level of political engagement in this cultural moment. In the two months since the Internet-Wide Day of Action to Save Net Neutrality, those efforts have crystallized into a decentralized grassroots movement to defend a free and open internet.
