| Friend,
Last month California passed the strongest state Net Neutrality bill we’ve seen, by wide margins1. But it’s not law until Gov. Jerry Brown approves it.
Urge Gov. Brown to sign SB 822 and pass the strongest state Net Neutrality protections in the country.
This moment in California is important to the national fight for Net Neutrality. The world’s eighth largest economy and home to tech innovation just loudly declared its support for a free and open internet, sending a strong signal to policymakers in Washington.
But for this legislation to become law, the governor needs to act.
Tell Gov. Brown to sign SB 822 and keep up the national momentum to restore Net Neutrality protections.
AT&T, Charter, Comcast and Verizon have pulled out all of the stops to keep California from safeguarding the free and open internet. They’ve resorted to downright predatory tactics — even sending thousands of robocalls to spread misinformation and scare elderly Californians into opposing the measure2. Now, you can be sure they’re spending a lot of time and energy trying to convince Gov. Brown to veto SB 822.
The voices of everyday Californians spoke louder than ISP lobbyists last month; now it’s time to do it one more time and make sure Gov. Brown signs this critical legislation. By winning this fight, we’re sending a message to every member of Congress that people power can and will defeat corporate cash.
Sign on right now and help maintain momentum in California.
Onward,
Adam, Candace, Lucia and the rest of the Free Press Action team
