In this digital age, preserving Net Neutrality is essential to free speech and a free press. It’s the principle that the internet should be open to everyone, without monetary or other restrictions. This means that online an independent filmmaker’s project or a public affairs show can continue to have the same level of internet service and public accessibility as a major studio or network release.

Net Neutrality has always been how the internet operates-- it’s why a free and open net has been so economically and creatively fruitful. But corporate conglomerates don’t like that the internet is a level playing field for independent creators. They are fighting to shut down the open internet by letting Internet Service Providers decide how to prioritize web traffic and whom to serve.
Take action here! Tell the FCC Commissioners to protect Net Neutrality.

One of our members volunteered to make a youtube PSA supporting Net Neutrality. Check it out on our page (and like it on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXZe7EzqoeI&feature=player_embedded)

The Writers Guild sees NN as key to preserving free speech, creativity AND the economic future of the internet because as we've all learned, corporate control sucks.
