The Federal Communications Commission got it right on “net neutrality.”
So did President Obama, who took a bold stand in favor of keeping the Internet free.
So did leaders such as Reps. John Lewis, Keith Ellison and Maxine Waters, and the Rev. William Barber II, one of the architects of “Moral Mondays” protests and a member of the national board of the NAACP. So did the United Church of Christ, as well as more than 100 social justice and civil rights groups.
And so did countless progressive, people-powered groups, such as Color of Change, an online community (which I helped to found) dedicated to bringing about positive change for African-Americans. Ditto for tiny, grassroots dynamos like Oakland’s Center for Media Justice, led by Malkia Cyril.
