In a disdainful, yet predictable decision, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted 3–2 in favor of gutting the Obama-era network neutrality provisions that classified broadband internet service as a public utility. This corporate power grab paves the way for ISPs like Comcast and Verizon to control our online experience with new fees, throttling, and outright censorship.

But net neutrality is one of the most popular policies since, I don’t know — Social Security? The eight-hour work day? For instance, according to a recent Mozilla poll, it is supported by 76% of Americans. Net neutrality’s broad popularity crosses party lines as well, with 81% of Democrats and 73% of Republicans in favor of an open internet. To put those numbers in perspective, a mere 64% of Americans support marijuana legalization.

So, as one would expect, freedom-loving folks across the nation aren’t taking this decision lightly. For starters, the FCC is being sued by both the New York attorney general and the internet advocacy organization Free Press. Democratic lawmakers have also warned that “there is going to be a political price to pay for taking net neutrality away from the American people.” Massive online and offline protests are gaining traction, and internet freedom organizations are launching a campaign to demand that Congress restore net neutrality through the Congressional Review Act.

To assist these efforts, please call your representatives in Congress, or send them letters using Mail My Gov. You can also donate to Free Press and join the army of activists at Team Internet.

Promising during his presidential campaign to “drain the swamp,” infamous con man Donald J. Trump instead appointed white supremacists (the Steves) and corporate parasites like Ajit Pai, Rex Tillerson, and a handful of former Goldman Sachs executives. The flagrant despotism of this regime makes the Trump University scam look like a walk in the park. Our current federal government is certainly a nightmare, but if we fight hard enough, we can awaken to a new and brighter reality. As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. famously said, “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” Let’s stay determined, stay positive, work together, and take back control of our internet.
