Protesters came together in front of Verizon stores around the United States on December 7th, to raise awareness about net neutrality.
On December 14th the FCC will vote on a new proposal that would get rid of net neutrality regulations that have been in place since 2015.
The proposal is expected to pass since three of the five seats on the commission are controlled by the Republican party.
The protests were held at Verizon stores because the current FCC chairman worked as a lawyer for Verizon before he was appointed to the FCC.
Verizon says it has no plans to block or slow access to the internet.
