1. First, understand that this is NOT the end. I've seen many, many tweets suggesting this vote is the death knell for the internet. That's simply not true. Read the document I linked in this tweet. This won't happen overnight.https://twitter.com/Celeste_pewter/status/941225138212573184 …

2. Understand just what
#NetNeutrality
is and isn't. This @mashable video will help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-IOUuIxejA … I'm seeing a lot of tweets suggesting#NetNeutrality
means cutting off access; it's more slowing/throttling access for more $. (Broadly speaking)Pokaż ten wątek -
3. Now, here are some actionable steps. A. Nix the desire to hate email the FCC. Do people like Pai deserve it? Hell yes. But it's not going to get anything done. B. Email your House Members/Senators TODAY and tell them you want the ball rolling on a telecoms bill. Script.pic.twitter.com/8K05bjhPvG

B1. I'm getting some questions about HR 4585, and whether we ask electeds to support. Going to say no - the bill address the FCC/rule, and not the root of this problem, which is this should be enshrined into law. Until laws happen,
#NetNeutrality
will be a political football.Pokaż ten wątek -
C. Call your state attorneys general, and ask them how they plan on addressing the FCC’s changes. They’re going to have similar powers to protect consumers from anti-competitive practices. Additionally, ask them to sign off on the letter calling to investigate fake comments.pic.twitter.com/5qVWQq45Rd

D. Check out news sites/tech sites for lawsuits about Net Neutrality, and donate to their efforts. Start with places like
@WIRED. Donate to those causes. Spread the word. E. Tell your preferred 2018 Dem candidates, you want them to add#NetNeutrality
to their platform.Pokaż ten wątek -
Why? Because: A. You want to know what they’ll do about Net Neutrality if elected, B. Making Net Neutrality a leading campaign issue, can very likely encourage even more volunteer/voter interest. (Seriously, I think the DSCC/DCCC should make this a campaign point)pic.twitter.com/8LH8965S0K

Some FAQs: 1. The petitions floating around should be seen as well-meaning ways to spread information, but will have ZERO actual impact. Petitions are designed to be hard. The boards/orgs/whatever you're filing them to, want to discourage hundreds of random/arbitrary filings.

Credentials: I saw a lot of petition filings when I worked in politics, and they were always, always struck down. The rules are designed to be complex on purpose. (Also, politicians are totally using the petitions to get your info for $$ during campaign season, so there's that.)

2. I know I've said this hundreds of times, but please only use social media to rally your followers. Do not use it to contact electeds; their staff don't have the time to filter thousands of @'s or FB posts, and your point will be overlooked/ignored.

3. The comment portal for this process closed in August. Telling people to post to GoFCCYourself has been doing nothing, and will seriously do nothing. (Sorry, sorry! But it's true. All the recent posts saying to comment via GoFCCYourself, have made me cranky)

Finally. Take a breath. This is not over BY. FAR. The fight has gotten harder, but there are MANY of us and they are few. It may take until the Democrats are back in power, but we CAN AND WILL do this.

Please, please RT this info. Please spread this info widely; there's so much bad info going around, I'm worried people will think their efforts have failed, and give up in defeat. FIGHT for the Internet and our right to unrestrained information.pic.twitter.com/irpm1xewKF

P.S. Don't let the pro-rollback
#NetNeutrality
members of the FCC lie to you. Their proposed alternatives simply do not work, and aren't "imminently reasonable" as one of them said.Pokaż ten wątek -
I've tweeted this several times, but going to tweet out this WIRED article again. Read this. It helps clear up misinformation.https://www.wired.com/2017/05/congress-not-fcc-can-fix-net-neutrality/ …

Here’s a script for your governor’s office. I don’t think they’ll do this, but if they tell you this is an issue outside of their jurisdiction, point to Washington state’s announcement as precedent for your call.
