I haven’t done an update on Net Neutrality in a while as I was trying to find a reasonable “next step”, especially since it’s been out of the “news cycle” for a bit. Well, I have some good news.
According to the senator (minority leader Chuck Schumer) from New York, they now have a total of 50 votes for a Senate resolution of disapproval that would restore the Open Internet Order of 2015 and deliver a stiff rebuke to Ajit Pai and other Republican members of the FCC. It would also prevent the agency from passing a similar measure in the future, all but guaranteeing Net Neutrality is permanently preserved
What’s stopping them now? They need just ONE more Republican and they have less than 30 days to do it.
So goes the next actionable step. You have to contact your senators and get them to suppose the Congressional Review of “the Open Internet Order of 2015″.
2) Via https://resist.bot/ – you can write to Congress using this site or Text RESIST to Resistbot on Telegram, Messenger, or to 50409 on SMS. By providing basic information, you can write your Senator to move forward.
Now, if you got a Democratic Senator, push them on to find that one Republican Senator. If you got a Republican Senator, encourage them to reconsider their stance on Net Neutrality.
We just need ONE Republican Senator and we have less than 30 days to do so.
ATTENTION ARIZONANS: Trump will be holding a campaign-style rally next week where he is also likely going to pardon Joe Arpaio.

The protests will be on the north side of Monroe street across from the Phoenix Convention Center at the Herberger Theater Center, and this will start at 6PM. Those who want to protest inside will have to register for tickets here.
This will be his first rally since his comments on Charlottesville so come down to protest Trump, Arpaio, and stand in solidarity with the brave people of Charlottesville.
