Net Neutrality Day of Action

[http://ala.informz.net/ala/data/images/Washington_Office/joinustwitter.png]

The FCC wants to destroy net neutrality and give big cable companies control over what we see and do online. If they get their way, they’ll allow widespread throttling, blocking, censorship, and extra fees. ALA has joined the Day of Action on July 12. Read more about the effort here<http://ala.informz.net/z/cjUucD9taT02NjUxNjQ0JnA9MSZ1PTEwMDczNjg2NDYmbGk9NDQ4MTkzMTg/index.html>.
