Hi Friends--

I just found out about a great opportunity to tell the FCC what I think about the future of the Internet.

Details:
Location: South High School, 3131 19th Avenue South (in the auditorium), Minneapolis, MN

Date/Time: Thursday, Aug. 19, 2010, 6 p.m.

Featured Speakers: FCC Commissioners Michael Copps and Mignon Clyburn and Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie (All FCC commissioners are invited to speak, and other elected officials have also received invitations to speak. Additional speakers will be announced as they are confirmed.)

RSVP at http://savetheinternet.com/mnhearing.

If you can't make it in person, you can still watch online at www.mag-net.org.

This hearing, co-hosted by Main Street Project, Free Press, and the Center for Media Justice, is a unique and valuable opportunity for those outside of Washington to share their ideas, experiences and concerns with the FCC.

The debate over the future of the Internet in America is at a critical juncture. On one side are the millions of people who have seen the Internet become a vital part of their daily routine. They’ve contacted elected officials and regulators demanding that Washington protect the open Internet and foster universal broadband access and adoption for all Americans.   On the other is a lobbying juggernaut that seeks to destroy this openness so that phone and cable companies can rebuild the Internet as a gated community that pads their bottom line.

The FCC needs to hear from us--especially poor people, communities of color, and those pushed furthest to the margins. On August 19, please come to this event to urge the FCC to protect Internet users, pass real Net Neutrality rules, and connect everyone to fast, affordable broadband service.
