Internet access in New York:

Friend, excellent news: Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair Jessica Rosenworcel has [announced]( plans to restore net neutrality! We've been waiting years to undo the damage done during the Trump administration. Wealthy phone and cable companies have spent millions to block, delay, or weaken these net neutrality protections—this time will be no different. Let's make it clear that everyday Americans support keeping the internet free and open. [Sign the petition: Restore net neutrality!]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Without basic net neutrality protections, corporations like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T are able to block, throttle, and slow access to sites and services at will, charge new fees for users and companies to reach audiences online, and freely sell our data. Internet users and small media outlets like Daily Kos are at the mercy of big telecom companies. The Trump administration allowed Big Telecom to [effectively control]( the FCC. When President Biden promised to restore net neutrality, telecom lobbyists successfully deployed an abhorrent, well-funded campaign to keep the commission in deadlock and stymied its ability to restore net neutrality rules. It took massive grassroots pressure to finally fill the fifth and final tie-breaking seat on the commission. Now, with the FCC at full force, we can restore net neutrality. However, Big Telecom will continue to make reinstating the Obama-era protections an uphill battle. To ensure the strongest possible protections, now is the time to ramp up grassroots support.
