FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler has delayed a vote on Net Neutrality until 2015 — and is probably hoping the public scrutiny will fade by then.

Guess what: It won’t. And to make sure he knows it, we’re showing up in person at the agency’s final meeting of the year to remind Wheeler that we’re #StillWatching him and will keep making noise until the FCC protects the open Internet.

We need you there this Thursday: All you need to do is grab some props (like oversized specs or a magnifying glass) and show up to join in the fun.

Here are the details:

What: Rally to Save the Internet: Net Neutrality Now 
When: Thurs., Dec. 11, 9–10 a.m. 
Where: Outside FCC headquarters, 445 12th St. SW, Washington, D.C.
RSVP: Click here to tell us you’re coming.
Bring: A magnifying glass/specs and a sign calling for Title II

Wheeler claims he needs more time to mull over Net Neutrality— but you and I both know that he has all the info he needs right now to reclassify Internet-access service under Title II. And there should be no doubt in his mind that reclassifying under Title II is the only way to protect the open Internet.

When it comes to the Internet, Californians are pioneers. The Bay Area has been very vocal in the national fight for Net Neutrality, and there’s a reason: The open Internet is why so many trailblazing new artists, technologies and businesses were born in this state. On Nov. 20, concerned Internet users and a coalition of advocacy organizations are gathering at San Francisco City Hall to hold a people’s hearing on the future of the Internet.

The Net Neutrality debate is moving fast on the heels of a record-breaking summer where millions of people spoke out against an FCC proposal that would permit large Internet providers to charge fees for access to parts of the Web. 

Organizations including ColorOfChange.org, Common Cause, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Free Press, the Media Action Grassroots Network (MAG-Net), and the Media Alliance are inviting the diverse communities of the Bay Area to speak out and join local leaders, policy experts, technologists, and elected officials to testify at City Hall about why the future of the Internet matters to us.

This event is free and open to the public.

5:30 p.m.: Rally outside
6 p.m.: Doors open 
7 p.m.: Hearing begins

Join us for a rally outside City Hall at 5:30 p.m., and then come in at 7 p.m. to make your voice heard. Share your story about why the Internet must remain open and free!
