Net Neutrality Day: Cloudflare + Fight for the Future

What's this blog post about?

On July 12th, known as "Net Neutrality Day", Fight for the Future (FFTF) launched a Cloudflare App to promote awareness and encourage users to contact their local congressional representatives about the importance of Net Neutrality. The app was installed on numerous websites worldwide, resulting in approximately 178 million page views. This led to over 2 million comments submitted to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and millions of emails and phone calls directed towards Congress. Cloudflare, a company that believes in equal voice on the internet, supports FFTF's efforts and highlights the effectiveness of online civic campaigns. To stay updated on future Fight for the Future initiatives, users can sign up for their mailing list. The source code for FFTF’s Battle for the Net Cloudflare App is available on Github, and instructions to create one's own app are provided in Cloudflare Apps documentation.
