A message from Color of Change on what "net neutrality" means for civic-minded Blackfolk (and everyone else)
In a country where most of what we read, watch, and listen to is controlled by a handful of conglomerates, "network neutrality" is an issue that is vital to our democracy. that most Americans know little to nothing about. And in the Black community which is significantly underrepresented in terms of media ownership, saving the soul of the Internet
Afro-Netizen is charter member of the ideologically diverse Save The Internet Coalition. Please click here for more information on why we need to be more media literate and how by so doing, we build a stronger, more equitable democracy for all.
This is one of the most important issues facing the country. I will look into it more myself and try to spread the word.
