There is much at stake for Latinos and all communities in light of a recent federal court decision that did away with the network neutrality rules that protected our ability to tell our own stories, organize and conduct business online. Latinos journalists, creators, small business owners and activists depend on an open Internet as a platform to share our stories and distribute our work. For all communities, the Internet is critical to apply for jobs, to our children's education and to access vital services. But the recent court decision jeopardizes the freedom we have all come to enjoy on the Internet, as it will open the door for large corporations to have an unfair advantage and create barriers.
