Media Mobilizing Project and local broadband activists are urging Philadelphians to call Mayor Michael Nutter on Wednesday May 21, (today!) to demand that the city step in to save the Wireless Philadelphia network and keep digital inclusion as part of its agenda.

Earthlink plans to begin dismantling the $17 million network June 12, after failing to convince either the city or a non-profit to assume ownership. If you are making this call, you could say:

My name is ___________, and I live at __________ here in Philadelphia. Please tell Mayor Nutter to halt Earthlink's dismantling of the municipal wireless network. Before Earthlink breaks its contract with our city, we need a full conversation about how to get everyone online!

Or something of that nature.

Call now! (215) 686-3000 or (215) 686-2250.
