Day of Action to save Net Neutrality

Friends and volunteers of Backbone joined a local protest as part of 600 actions outside of Verizon stores organized in a day of resistance to the FCC's plan to roll back Net Neutrality rules. With LED light panels the crowd said "WE ♥ NET NEUTRALITY."

The new chairman of the FCC, Ajit Pai was Associate General Counsel at Verizon Communications Inc., where he handled, among other things, regulatory issues. He just called a vote to kill net neutrality. On December 7, one week before the vote, we'll protest at retail stores across the U.S. and demand that Congress stop Verizon’s FCC from destroying the Internet as we know it.
