Save Net Neutrality

The FCC must ensure that broadband providers do not block, interfere with or discriminate against any lawful Internet traffic based on its ownership, source or destination. I urge the FCC to stand up for Net Neutrality.

As an educator, I depend upon open and equal access to wide range of Internet services for teaching and research. If Net Neutrality is compromised, it will be harder for me and my students to access learning materials on nonprofit web sites and harder for me to conduct my current research on how the Internet can be used to engage young people in civic life. As a citizen, it will be harder for me to participate in an informed manner in public life.

The FCC's job is not to pick winners and losers on the Internet. Undermining Net Neutrality would harm the public interest by limiting access to the wide range of opinions and information that are the lifeblood of a healthy democracy.
