Public Knowledge has announced the "Internet Strikes Back" Day (2/17/11) to support net neutrality.
Here's an excerpt from the press release:
Public Knowledge has set this Thursday, Feb. 17, as "Internet Strikes Back" day to counter Congressional opposition to a fair and open Internet.
The day was chosen because it is one day after members of the House Energy and Commerce Committee hold a hearing to unveil legislation that would roll back current Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Net Neutrality rules and prohibit the Commission from enacting future rules. On that day following the hearing, members of the public are being asked to call their member of Congress and oppose the legislation.
PK has set up a Web site, www.theinternetstrikesback.org which will allow visitors to sign up for mobile action alerts, including a text message reminder, and download an Internet Strikes Back badge for web sites.
