Attendees will also receive an update from the lawyers, policy analysts, and activists who have been working on the front lines to make sure the FCC takes the right path forward. Before the hearing, supporters will rally outside City Hall at 5:30pm and are encouraged to bring cell phones, laptops, and flashlights for a cell phone vigil and to hold signs and colorful art to demonstrate support for Internet freedom.

Last Monday, President Barack Obama issued a statement <https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/11/white-house-gets-it-net-neutrality-will-fcc-0> in support of full, clear net neutrality rules, echoing the demands of the 4 million Americans who have spoken out in favor of the same reforms throughout the year. The FCC is weighing its options now and is expected to act as early as December. It’s time to make sure California voices are heard in the national discussions.The fight isn’t over yet; come meet us <http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/933163> at the front lines. Hope to see you there, April Glaser Activism Team PS: Can’t make it to the event? We’ll be streaming live <http://sfgovtv.org/index.aspx?page=135> starting at 7pm on Thursday, November 20.
