Keep our internet open for reprofreedom
Killing netneutrality would kill access to abortion information. Keep our internet open for reprofreedom
Imagine a world where a woman searches the internet but can find no information on how to access an abortion.
Imagine searching the internet but finding no reproductive healthcare provider lists or contact information.
Imagine trying to call your representative, but you can't get through, because the phone company is being paid to limit the number of phone calls to Congress.
In late 2007, we experienced this firsthand, when Verizon Wireless cut off access to our text messaging program we used to organize and mobilize our members. They reversed their censorship after widespread public outrage, but if Obama era rules that say everyone has to be treated the same on the internet—often called "net neutrality"—is ripped away, this could happen to us again. And think about all the other community organizers, activists, and organizations across the country that Donald Trump don't fit into his anti-choice agenda.
We use it so often, that it's easy to forget how important the open and free internet is to all of us. Sign the petition to tell Trump's Federal Communications Commission and Congress that internet service providers should NOT be allowed to control what we see online.
A lack of net neutrality would prove devastating for progressive organizers, activists, and for our right to access vital, accurate reproductive health information. Without net neutrality, internet providers could control what we see and do online, giving wealthy, conservative anti-choice groups the upper hand. We don't want to let them get the upper hand—that's why we're working to stop them before they even have the opportunity.
This issue is bigger than just one organization and impacts millions of lives. We're proud to join forces with the ACLU, DailyKos, MoveOn, Women's March, Fight for the Future, Free Press, and many others to ensure that our demands are not ignored
