On Wednesday, °®ÎÛ´«Ã½ and thousands of supporters came together for a day of action to save the internet. The °®ÎÛ´«Ã½ team was at the San Francisco Mission BART station Wednesday, educating the public about the importance of net neutrality. Keeping it fun, yes, those are tattoos! (the temporary kind). We also sent a call to action to our customers, posted on our website, submitted , and spoke with anyone that would listen about the importance of Net Neutrality.
In fact, I did a to chat with users about the critical importance of fighting to keep current net neutrality regulation that keeps the internet open and equal for all in place. I also wrote a San Francisco Chronicle opinion on the importance of net neutrality.
For more on the topic and its importance, here is a roundup of some of the recent coverage to get you up to speed:

The outpouring of support for Net Neutrality Day was nothing short of inspiring. Over 2 million comments, 5 million emails, and 125,000 calls were made to the FCC. You fought alongside °®ÎÛ´«Ã½ and countless others for your internet freedom. You told the FCC and Congress that you deserve open and equal internet access.
But our fight is not over. On Monday, the FCC will stop accepting constituent feedback on Net Neutrality regulation. Until then, your continued support in sharing news stories, posting on social, and submitting your letters to Congress and the FCC is more important than ever, so if you haven’t commented yet, please do so today.
Thank you for joining °®ÎÛ´«Ã½ as we continue to fight for your freedom on the internet. Share this with friends. Post on social media, or forward this message. We’ve only got until Monday to make our voices heard!
