Hi Bay Area Net Neutrality activists,
My friend Julia is spreading the word about a hearing on Net Neutrality at
the SF City Hall coming up next week.
Please check out the forwarded message for more info...
---
Obama has made it clear: He wants real Net Neutrality.1
Obama's bold statement on Monday marks a critical turning point in the
fight for the open Internet -- but we haven't won yet. We need to keep the
pressure on until the FCC listens to the president and the public and does
the right thing.
We know so many folks like you in the Bay Area care deeply about this issue
-- so we're working with our allies to set up a space for you to speak out.
On Thurs., Nov. 20, we're co-hosting Bay Area Speaks: A People's Hearing on
the Future of the Internet.
We need as many people as possible to speak out in favor of real Net
Neutrality. Can you be there?
<http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/933163>
We've got some great participants lined up -- former FCC Commissioner
Michael Copps, Jay Nath of the Mayor's Office of Civic Innovation, Corynne
McSherry of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Ana Montes of the Utility
Reform Network and Amy Sonnie of the Oakland Public Library -- but YOU are
the true star of the event.
We've set aside lots of time for you to share your stories and push the FCC
to save Net Neutrality and stop Comcast from taking over the Internet.
