We have less than 12 hours before a crucial deadline1 that could set a global standard for how deep-pocketed telecom conglomerates can slow or block your favourite websites. Add your voice now before it’s too late.

Hey--I wanted to make sure you saw this. We have less than 12 hours to stop Big Telecom’s plan to force our favourite websites into the slow lane – and we need all the help we can get. Please add your voice now to stop the Internet slowdown before it’s too late.

Paov,

We’re working around the clock to keep up with the momentum that’s built for the open Internet. But right now, we need your help more than ever.

Today, the whole world is watching: we have less than 12 hours before a crucial deadline passes that could set the global standard for how deep-pocketed telecom giants can slow or block your favourite websites.

Add your voice now to stop Big Telecom giants from ruining the net before it’s too late.

This is what net neutrality looks like: in the past week, over 150,000 people from over 180 countries have spoken out to stop Big Telecom’s plan to slow your favourite websites.

Now is your chance to stand up and be counted as part of the movement that made the difference. Please join us while there is still time.

The fight for net neutrality is one of the most essential fights in the struggle for Internet freedom.

At the end of the day, we face a simple choice: do we fight for an Internet that promotes an open society, and allows us to reach our fullest potential? Or do we allow a handful of media giants to take control of a revolutionary platform that Internet users everywhere built together?

Which side are you fighting for, Paov?

Let’s see what we can do together.

–Josh, on behalf of your OpenMedia team

P.S., These are the vital hours. Can we count you in, Paov?
