Net Neutrality!!

Dear Friends! 716-332-3904; 716-931-3520 12/5/17

It is an onslaught – yesterday it seemed the bad news just kept coming. However, ending the day with a discussion group (initiated by CEJ and cosponsored by the WNY Peace Center) on Rev. Barber’s book The Third Reconstruction (at 6-7:30pm at the Daily Planet, Parker & Hertel), all related to a renewal of Rev. Dr. King’s Poor People’s Campaign was very heartening. Join us for the next two weeks.

______ Net Neutrality!!__________

Please help us get the FCC to maintain Net Neutrality so the new public square is equally accessible and not sold to the highest bidder. (Net neutrality is the concept that consumers and businesses should be able to reach the online applications and services of their choosing without interference from their broadband provider.)

Please contact the following to urge that net Neutrality be kept:
