🚨This is a Red Alert for net neutrality 🚨

Last December, the FCC voted to to kill net neutrality. If we do not take action, this will kill the free and open internet as we know it. The internet needs you—all of you—to make sure your voices are heard NOW.

We need all hands on deck for this one. It may be our last chance. If you’re feeling under-informed and overwhelmed about why net neutrality is so incredibly important, we have this handy guide just for you.

Here’s what you can do to save the internet:

In mid-May, the Senate will vote on a resolution to overrule the FCC using the Congressional Review Act (CRA). We only need one more vote in the Senate to win. Write or call your Senators or Representatives. You can also text BATTLE to 384-387 to get more information on how to write to your reps. You can do this, Tumblr.

Join us and dozens of your other favorite companies like Etsy, Vimeo, Reddit, and GitHub to raise awareness with the Red Alert campaign being run by Battle for the Net. Just add this small widget to your Tumblr to let your followers know how they can contact their reps. It’s as easy as copying and pasting the small line of code right into the customize theme page on the web.

This is important. This matters. It’s up to you to help.

The FCC has announced that they will end net neutrality on June 11.

You can help stop them.

The Senate is voting on a resolution to maintain a safe and open internet. Contact your reps—let them know you support net neutrality. This is it, Tumblr. Now is the time to act. Go, go, go!

How would you know, if you havent heard so? I agree it should be required to teach history of bad events that we dont want to repeat. But it seems to be happening anyway. The black and white issue is being reversed, soon whites will be in the blacks position if we arent careful. Why cant we treat everyone the same? This includes a month dedicated to a race. Was there a Jew historymonth? No,and there isnt much segregation of Jews happening. How is this helping when it only seems to be segregating

Usually, we don’t like to play straw-man with debates… we don’t have to answer this question. However, since it came up too many times today, we might as well tackle this one by telling you the months are official observations:

March - National National Women’s History Month, Irish-American Heritage Month

May - Asian Pacific American Heritage, Older Americans Month and Jewish American Heritage Month

June - LGBT Pride Month

September - National Hispanic-Latino Heritage Month (Sept. 15-Oct. 15)

October - National Disability Employment Awareness Month and National Italian American Heritage Month

November - National American Indian Heritage Month

This is about as pleasant as I’m willing to get on THIS side of Tumblr.

Thanks for your question.

This Valentine’s Day, #LoveYourself

Hey! There’s a brand new Threadless store from a handful of the Tumblr @creatrs. It’s a place where they can show off and sell their work, with 100% of the profit going directly to the artist. Nice.

This brand new line of Valentine’s Day merch positions the holiday away from romantic relationships and centers it around loving yourself and your friends. Very nice.

There are phone cases, sweatshirts, mugs, towels, notebooks, and a whole lot more, all featuring designs from Creatrs Lunares (@godgolden), Saskia (@saskdraws), Josh LaFayette (@joshlafayette), Marina Esmeraldo (@marinaesmeraldo), and Gabriella Sanchez (@thatnoisegallery).

Oh! And we’re celebrating this launch with a brand new pack of stickers, available in your app right now.

They’re begging to be slapped on your selfies.

Whacha waiting for? Support an artist today.

Happy Black History Month! As part of Tumblr’s #WhatWillYouDo campaign, we are committed to using our platform to celebrate and honor the achievements, the courage, and the lives of Black voices from all over the country. There will be Days of Action you can join, Answer Times to participate in, and stickers to enjoy. We want to make sure you don’t miss anything you wouldn’t want to miss. So let’s go:

#TheBlackout

Today the incredible team behind #TheBlackout movement are curating and boosting Black voices and stories, and the organizations doing important work in spaces where Black voices tend to be ignored.

Stickers are back

Slap them on your selfies, throw them on your GIFs. They’re in the Tumblr app right now.

Don’t miss these Answer Times, Issue Times, and Day of Action

From activists in transgender education to data scientists, we have a varied line-up of people who want to answer your questions and start some pretty important conversations. Be on the lookout for them all month long over on our official @action Tumblr.

Black Girls Vote (Answer Time) If you’re in college and have wanted to get more involved in politics, you should pay attention to BGV. Their Collegiate Ambassador Program provides peer-to-peer education on the electoral process and provides opportunities to refine public speaking skills. Want to know more? Great! That’s what the Answer Time is for. Black Contemporary Art (art curation) Kimberly Drew, who runs @blackcontemporaryart, will curate a collection of art that honors Black voices by shining a light on the diverse cultural conversations important to the community. The Cost of Criminalization: Race & The Drug War (Issue Time) People of color are far more likely to be stopped, searched, arrested, prosecuted, convicted, and incarcerated for drug violations than white people, despite having a comparable rate of drug use and selling. Here to address this injustice in an Issue Time, in the midst of marijuana becoming legal at the state level all over the US, are members of the Minority Cannabis Association, Cannabis Cultural Association, and other advocacy leaders working to address issues related to mass incarceration.

Campaign Zero (Day of Action and Answer Time) Campaign Zero is a police reform campaign led by activists associated with Black Lives Matter. Tumblr will be partnering Campaign Zero for a Day of Action, giving you the opportunity to identify your state and local elected officials and demand them to enact legislation to end police violence. Ahead of the Day of Action will be an Answer Time with Sam Singyanwe, from Campaign Zero’s planning team.

Do Not Resist (Answer Time) Do Not Resist is a PBS documentary on police brutality, delving into their tactics, their training, and acquisition of equipment.

Transgender Freedom Project (Answer Time) The Transgender Freedom Project’s Answer Time will be with some of the first Black transgender elected officials in the US.

Hope you have a nice Black History Month, Tumblr. <3
