Tell your members of Congress to urge Gov. Newsom to reject Trump's scheme to end net neutrality!
Petition to California Members of Congress:
We urge you to express serious concerns to Governor Gavin Newsom over a dangerous provision in the $1.42 billion broadband funding package from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). We urge you to ask Gov. Newsom to either sue the NTIA to invalidate BEAD Condition 50 before accepting $1.42 billion in broadband funding from NTIA, or to reject the funding package. As it stands this funding would end net neutrality in California for 14 years, a giveaway to big telecommunications companies and a big loss to consumers, affordability, and public safety.
Governor Gavin Newsom could hand Trump and Big Telecom companies like Comcast and Verizon a big win if he doesn't reject a shady Trump admin deal.
The Trump administration sent California $1.42 billion to expand broadband internet. But Trump hid a provision in the funding package that would end net neutrality in the state for 14 years.
Ending net neutrality, which guarantees free and open internet access for all, would be a big win for massive corporations like Comcast, AT&T, Verizon/Frontier, SpaceX, and Amazon, and a big loss for working people. Gov. Newsom needs to hear from his constituents and other California leaders and reject Trump's scheme.
Sign the petition: Urge your members of Congress to tell Gov. Newsom to reject Trump's deal. Protect internet freedom and block this giveaway to Big Telecom!
A free and open internet protects consumers from jacked up internet rates. It guards against Big Telecom threats to public safety, like internet providers throttling internet access during emergencies or natural disasters.
Big Telecom and the Trump administration want to gate off the web for the highest bidder. Our California lawmakers must ensure that Gov. Newsom rejects this poison pill provision in Trump's funding package. Time is running out, and Gov. Newsom needs to take action now.
