Tell presidential candidates: Restore net neutrality!

A federal court just upheld most of the FCC's 2017 decision to overturn net neutrality.

Dear MoveOn member,

A federal court just upheld most of the FCC's 2017 decision to overturn net neutrality.¹ Combined with Mitch McConnell's obstruction of the Save the Internet Act in the Senate, it's becoming clear that who ever is elected to the White House in 2020 will have to be the one to restore net neutrality by appointing a new FCC that will protect a free and open internet.

But so far, net neutrality hasn't been broached in the debates. That's why we are asking all of the 2020 presidential candidates to pledge to restore the Title II net neutrality rules. 

Sign this petition demanding that all 2020 presidential candidates sign on to protecting net neutrality.

Candidates, we ask you to publicly call for the restoration of strong open internet protections; reject contributions from phone and cable company executives, lobbyists, and PACs; and pledge to appoint FCC Commissioners who will:

• Restore all of the Title II-based net neutrality rules, enforcement authority, broadband competition and consumer protections the FCC eliminated in 2017
• Enforce a ban on circumventing net neutrality at the point where data enters ISPs' networks
• Ban harmful forms of 'zero-rating' that advantage some apps over others or require apps to pay fees

Demand Progress has been helping to lead the effort to get candidates to raise this crucial issue in public debate and commit to restoring net neutrality, including by rejecting campaign contributions from Big Cable. Will you help build the movement?

Thanks!
