Reactionary agenda

Net Neutrality's biggest enemy

Jason,

Ajit Pai — a former Verizon lawyer — is now the head of the FCC. And he's vowed to destroy Net Neutrality.

The open internet is more important than ever — we need it to mobilize the growing resistance movements happening in our communities.

Chip in $5 today to help us push back on Pai and save Net Neutrality.

Thanks—

Net Neutrality's biggest enemy

Jason, Donald Trump's pick to lead the FCC wants to destroy Net Neutrality. Ajit Pai, a former Verizon lawyer, has vowed to reverse all of the agency's pro-consumer free speech protections. He told phone and cable lobbyists that he’ll take a “weed whacker” to the Net Neutrality rules.1 It makes sense that Trump promoted Pai, who's served on the FCC as a commissioner since 2012. He's long pushed “alternative facts” about Net Neutrality, which must have endeared him to the president and his corporate handlers. Chip in $5 to help save Net Neutrality and defend your online rights. There's a powerful and growing resistance movement in the United States and destroying Net Neutrality — and our ability to fuel activism online — would cut it off at the knees. Millions of people from across the political spectrum took action at the FCC to protect our rights to connect and communicate.2 Your voice was heard in the many victories we've won over the years. We weren't quiet in the past and we won't be silent going forward. Your $5 donation will fund the fight against Pai's reactionary agenda. With your help, we can keep winning.
