a day of action re: the loss of Net Neutrality protections
Friends, we need your help to support this initiative and your voice to raise awareness of it
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Battle for the Net Overview
• Sites from across the web, including H/F will display a prominent alert on July 12
• Together, we will show the world what the web will look like without net neutrality protections
Net Neutrality Crisis
• The President and head of the FCC plan to abolish Net Neutrality protections
• H/F thinks this policy will kill startups dead
• Also, there is that pesky little problem of censorship enforced by ISPs
• For the big picture, take a look at this video
Participate with 150+ Organizations and your Fellow Citizens
• Let’s head 'em off at the pass and work to retain Net Neutrality protections
• Tweet, FB, Instagram, talk to your employer, get creative. A lot is at stake
Why is H/F Involved?
• H/F advocates strenuously regarding anything that could help or harm our community
• From USCIS to the SEC; policy makers to the Global EIR program; city governments to the US Patent office; we have your back
• We are pleased to partner with Fight for the Future (https://www.fightforthefuture.org/), which is organizing the event
