Hi all,<br>
<br>
I'm pasting EFF's outreach email below, but let me add: PLEASE COME!
The rally will be awesome, with puppets and projections.<br>
<br>
And the hearing will also be pretty amazing. Expect to hear from
leading experts in the debate. <br>
<br>
Speakers include: Former FCC Commissioner Michael Copps; Amy
Sonnie, Outreach Director of the Oakland Public Library; Jay Nath,
Chief Innovation Officer for the City of San Francisco; Corynne
McSherry, Director of Intellectual Property at the Electronic
Frontier Foundation; and Malkia Cyril, Executive Director of the
Center for Media Justice; Dane Jaspers of Sonic.net; Tim Pozar of
Fandor, Chris Witteman of the CPUC; with testimony from groups like
Greenlining, Dave Steer from Mozilla, Tracy Rosenberg of Media
Alliance, amongst others.<br>
<br>
We'll start at 5:30 with a rally outside City Hall and at 7 the
event at City Hall begins. <br>
<br>
Please share on social media and if a any representatives from
Noisebridge or Sudo want to speak at the rally, please be in touch.
I also encourage everyone to testify at the hearing. 60 seconds for
each person who provides testimony.<br>
<br>
Best, April<br>

Friend of Digital Freedom,</h2>
<p>You are invited to join EFF next Thursday,
November 20, for a free public event on the
quickly unfolding national debate on <a
href="https://www.eff.org/issues/net-neutrality">net
neutrality</a>, to be hosted at San Francisco
City Hall. </p>
<p>The <a
href="http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/933163">event</a>
is “Bay Area Speaks: A People’s Hearing on the
Future of the Internet,” where you are invited
to testify at City Hall about why net neutrality
matters to Bay Area communities. Attendees will
also receive an update from the lawyers, policy
analysts, and activists who have been working on
the front lines to make sure the FCC takes the
right path forward.</p>
<p>Before the hearing, supporters will rally
outside City Hall at 5:30pm and are encouraged
to bring cell phones, laptops, and flashlights
for a cell phone vigil and to hold signs and
colorful art to demonstrate support for Internet
freedom. <a

<div>The People’s Hearing comes at a key moment in
the debate over net neutrality. Last Monday,
President Barack Obama issued <a
href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/11/white-house-gets-it-net-neutrality-will-fcc-0">a
statement</a> in support of full, clear net
neutrality rules, echoing the demands of the 4
million Americans who have spoken out in favor
of the same reforms throughout the year. The FCC
is weighing its options now and is expected to
act as early as December.</div>
<p>It’s time to make sure California voices are
heard in the national discussions.The fight
isn’t over yet; <a
href="http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/933163">come
meet us</a> at the front lines.</p>
<p>Hope to see you there,</p>
