700 Net Neutrality Protests in All 50 States

When we set out three weeks ago with our partners at BattlefortheNet.com to launch protests nationwide ahead of the Federal Communications Commission’s Network Neutrality vote, we were confident we could pull off at least five of them and were going to shoot for 15. Dec 7, there were more than 700 protests in all 50 states. It was the largest public outpouring of support for Net Neutrality and internet freedom ever. The event was driven by Team Internet — the volunteer-led distributed-organizing campaign we launched alongside Demand Progress and Fight for the Future last summer. We’re witnessing a huge political shift on this issue. Public awareness has never been higher. And the politicians and press are paying attention.
