for all of those reading this who are not Americans/Canadians, here is what you can do!

signal boost and read below!

now, while net neutrality would only have an effect on Americans whose ISPs decide to no longer abide by net neutrality laws, it will impact people of other countries.

the ending of net neutrality would mean that ISPs can charge more for access to websites, like Tumblr. ISPs can also filter what can and cannot be seen. essentially, the web would no longer be open. this would not happen all at once, but slowly. you would, in some situations, have limited communication with American mutuals. the fandoms, communities, and so on that have developed on social media with American users would be stunted. Help protect your friends and their internet! Signal boost! Spread the word to everyone to encourage American friends to take action!

but here’s the thing, Americans.

we only need one more vote! the congressional review act (CRA) would allow congress to reverse the FCC’s decision to repeal net neutrality. it only requires 83% support to reverse this decision, and we lack one vote. get off your asses, folks. if your senators have not yet pledged, call them! google scripts!

we are the generation we have been waiting for. take a stand. the vote is on April 23rd. fight like we are running out of time, because we are.

Signal boost. Everywhere.
