Today, those of us online who care about net neutrality and how corporate greed will crush the last bastions of free speech and the free exchange of ideas/information, have banded together to voice our dissent against their actions and demonstrate what a slowed down Internet may look like if these corporations had their way.

We must rise up and defend net neutrality for the future of free speech and the free exchange of ideas/information. Below are some materials to help enlighten you to the cause.
