Action to protect net neutrality

[tanaqui]

Federal Communications Commission Chair Ajit Pai is expected to unveil his plans for rolling back net neutrality in the next few weeks (although net neutrality apparently isn't one of the issues that the FCC will be voting on in November).

Meanwhile, some of the ISPs (Verizon and Comcast, from what I've seen) are trying to get the FCC to rule that states can't set their own local net neutrality rules.

Various groups are currently organising a push to contact Members of Congress and encourage them to kill the FCC plan.

Information and ideas for ways to help (in addition to calling) at Battle for the Net.

Find out if your Member of Congress is holding a session where you can drop in to talk about net neutrality

Unsure of rules here- can I post about a rally happening in Denver tomorrow? The tax scam thing Trump wants passed so he can look good and give his friends a tax break also ELIMINATES the tax cuts for student loan and medical bill debt, as well as tax incentives for adoptions. I could post all about that too.

Yes, please do post!

The comm is very much about encouraging members to share what they know, and all members are very welcome to make posts at any time about anything relating to the current state of US politics -- especially posts that tell us about about events and actions people can get involved in, or which provide background information on issues.

It doesn't seem like I can post to this comm- do you have to fix it or do I? DW isn't my primary platform so I don't know how to fix it. Thanks for your help!

You'll need to join the community. :-)

If you go to the profile page at https://thisfinecrew.dreamwidth.org/profile, there should be a link (I think near the top on the right hand side) to "join community". That should take you through to a page where you can join the community and also subscribe so that entries show up on your reading page.
