Due to family health issues, I have been AWOL on this important issue.
Please read and send your messages. Net neutrality is so important to
maintain a level playing field for the citizens of this country. The new
FCC Chairman is a former attorney for Verizon. Can you say Conflict?? Also,
it appears that many pro messages to the FCC were done by bots using stolen
identities. This needs to be investigated.

Advocacy Alert: Net Neutrality

We have one week to put pressure on the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) to delay their December 14th vote.

As you know, ALA has two resolutions regarding net neutrality: the first
affirms net neutrality

and the second reaffirms our support

We are asking all library advocates to email or call their Members of
Congress this week and ask them to support net neutrality protections.
Libraries and our patrons cannot afford to be relegated to "slow lanes" on
the internet.

*What Happened:*

The day before Thanksgiving, FCC Chairman Pai publicly shared his plan to
dismantle network neutrality protections approved by the FCC in 2015 and
affirmed by the federal appeals court in 2016. The new draft order is
scheduled to be voted on by the five FCC commissioners on December 14, 2017.

*What's New:*

This week, ALA signed on to a letter being circulated by other net
neutrality allies, including the ACLU and Fight for the Future. The letter
asks the members of the Energy and Commerce Committee, which oversees the
FCC, to support net neutrality rules and tell the FCC to stop its proposed
plan to end them. ALA also supported a joint letter
<http://cqrcengage.com/ala/app/thru?ep=AAAAC2Flc0NpcGhlcjAxR57h02yr8maNA02ev3DiF9rSrqxPYLodPqcz9883bB4bh-U2WoGN2xZsUCyg6XKRZZa2xkHQ4W3dTXOQExQ_w8lzlb5nJ5vsF5dUQgo2do3U3GznouTXnHUehEzQRTegS0Oig-4J7UfxFMahSieCuk0z2bV1LJ4ZJuhnGEBLtTKjt1PbOC5W6H2cTyPdAQu4z4ejaoL9EiL7ZIA6YqMUmGAXs4FJlA83TqSt6PVa0RihLnfg8TV6Qrz36LbVWd7yTGg0aQt6LWj7G5zTeBCTKQ&lp=0>
to the FCC that requests that the vote on December 14th be delayed.

*What You Can Do:*

Right now, the draft order already has been supported by a majority of FCC
Commissioners, so it is almost certain to pass unless there is a meaningful
intervention. Strong disapproval from members of Congress (especially from
Republicans and those that serve on committees with oversight for the FCC)
could force a pause in the December 14 vote to derail net neutrality.

Make your voice heard now by emailing your member of Congress to support
net neutrality protections.
