>From the American Library Association take action page.

The FCC voted to gut the net neutrality protections that limit the power of
Internet Service Providers – like Verizon and Comcast – to slow websites,
block mobile apps, or in any way control the information we access. This
3-2 vote to roll back strong, enforceable net neutrality protections was
made amid widespread protests, millions of public comments and overwhelming
opposition from across the political spectrum.

Modern libraries rely on the internet to collect, create and disseminate
essential online information and services to the public. Strong,
enforceable net neutrality rules, like the ones Chairman Pai just rushed to
dismantle, are critical to keeping the internet working the way it does
now.

The Congressional Review Act gives Congress the ability and authority to
nullify the FCC's actions. Congress can and should vote to restore net
neutrality and protect the free and open internet. Contact your members of
Congress today and ask them to use a Resolution of Disapproval under the
Congressional Review Act (CRA) to overturn the FCC's disturbing rulemaking.

Go to the page now and tell Congress to Restore Net Neutrality:
