[Jude Iam]

take action or lose the net. let's do this! best, jude

Huge news! The House Energy and Commerce committee just voted to overturn Ajit Pai’s net neutrality repeal.1 We’re now heading to a full vote on the House floor Tuesday, April 9th.

Here’s our plan: during the last two committee votes, we hosted a livestream on www.BattleForTheNet.com, and nearly 1.3 million people in total tuned in. It was wild.

For Tuesday, we’re going to start an EPIC livestream at 9am EST, and run it ALL DAY to build excitement and drive phone calls, emails, and tweets to legislators.

Here’s how you can help make it huge:

1. Can you share our livestream? Embed our widget or livestream embed code to host the livestream on your homepage, and push traffic to battleforthenet.com using ads or social media?
2. Wanna appear on our livestream? Send us a video recording of you calling your member of Congress in support of the Save The Internet Act (HR 1644). Use our calling tool here to get connected and send a link to your video on Vimeo, Twitter or YouTube to <[email protected]>. If you represent a small business, non-profit, or organization and want to join live, fill out this form.
3. Tell your favorite Twitch stars to get in on this. We’re livestreaming on Twitch again and would love to feature gaming celebrities who care about a free and open web. Tell everyone you know on Twitch to join our livestream and help us make this huge!

The livestream viewers so far have been super positive and engaged and would be excited to see everyday Internet users talking about why this matters to them. Plus, we’ll be there to play host and make sure it goes smoothly.

This week major websites like BitTorrent, Tumblr, and Boing Boing helped spread our livestream across the web and we ended up getting more viewers than many primetime TV shows! Now we need your help to push this to the next level.

This is going to be the most important net neutrality vote this year, so the Internet is really counting on you this time. Don’t miss out!
