After an unprecedented outpouring of public support, today the FCC voted to enact the strongest net neutrality rules in history.  By embracing its Title II authority and creating clear, bright line rules against blocking and discrimination, Chairman Wheeler and the FCC have earned a reputation as defenders of an Open Internet.<\/p>\n

This day would not have happened without the support of the millions of Americans who commented with the FCC, called Congress, and wrote to the White House.  This bipartisan wave of Open Internet supporters from across the country came together to make it clear to their government that it had a crucial role in protecting an Open Internet.<\/p>\n

After months and years<\/a> of hard work and advocacy, today is a day to celebrate and savor.  Public Knowledge will provide more a detailed analysis of the rules and the order soon, but for now take a moment to reflect upon and enjoy the win.<\/p>\n

As everyone knows, the best way to enjoy a win is with a party<\/strong>.  If you are in DC tonight, please join us at the Victory for the Net party, co-hosted with our allies at Free Press, ColorOfChange.org, Common Cause, CREDO Action, Daily Kos, Demand Progress, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Fight for the Future, the Internet Archive, the Media Action Grassroots Network, the National Hispanic Media Coalition, the Open Technology Institute, and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee.<\/p>\n

When<\/strong>: 6:30-9:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

Where<\/strong>: Lost Society<\/a>, 200114th St. NW<\/a> (Green & Yellow @ U Street)<\/p>\n

RSVP HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

And if you are in San Francisco, please come to the west coast Victory for the Net party:<\/p>\n

When<\/strong>: 6:00-9:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

Where<\/strong>: The Internet Archive<\/a>, 300 Funston Ave., San Francisco<\/a><\/p>\n

RSVP HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, if you have questions about what all of this means, come by our Reddit AMA<\/a> tomorrow at 2:30pm where PK and many other net neutrality advocates will be on hand to answer questions and explain what is happening next.<\/p>\n
