Net Neutrality Advocates Make Push For Awareness Ahead Of Midterms

September 27, 2018

With the 2018 midterms fast approaching, net neutrality advocates are hoping new tools will push voters into making the topic an issue for lawmakers running.  

Fight for the Future, an internet rights advocacy group, launched a website today that aims to educate voters on the effort in Congress to use the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to overturn the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) decision to rescind net neutrality protections last year and join other voters who want to make the topic a major issue for people hoping to represent voters after this November’s elections..  

The website, VoteForNetNeutrality.com, shows how lawmakers in 23 “extremely closes races” stand on net neutrality, and directs people to a system that will help them register to vote in their individual states.
