Obama’s bold statement on Monday marks a critical turning point in the fight for the open Internet — but we haven’t won yet. We need to keep the pressure on until the FCC listens to the president and the public and does the right thing: prevent discrimination online.
We know our friends in the Bay Area care deeply about this issue — so we’re working with our allies to set up a space for you to speak out.
On Thursday, Nov. 20, we’re co-hosting Bay Area Speaks: A People’s Hearing on the Future of the Internet.
