What’s the story?

The repeal of net neutrality becomes official on April 23, 2018.
In December, the Republican-led Federal Communications Commission voted to dismantle net neutrality regulations, allowing internet providers to speed up – or slow down – access to apps and websites.
Yesterday, the Subcommittee on Communications and Technology held a hearing on using paid prioritization to create “internet fast lanes.”
\nVarious states have passed, or are considering, legislation to protect net neutrality.
Meanwhile, Democrats have 31 legislative days to find one additional vote to pass a CRA and undo the net neutrality rollback. Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA) tweeted a reminder this morning:

What do you think?

Do you want your senator joining #OneMoreVote? Should Congress, as AT&T has suggested, pass net neutrality legislation? Do you want your state to implement net neutrality protections? Or should states respect the federal mandate? Hit Take Action and let your reps know, then comment below.
