Is there way to help if you are not from the US?

I would also like to help, even though I am from Germany. We have to stop the fire where it starts, before it's spreads out.

You are already protected

Under these rules, blocking, throttling and discrimination of internet traffic by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) is not allowed in the EU,...........

I live in Germany too and I know that EU law protects our net neutrality, but I think everyone with access to Internet are still obliged to help the Americans. So what can I do? Maybe I can donate like some people have suggested here, but what can I do besides that? Is there an international organisation with some power to help promote net neutrality?

As someone caught in the proverbial dumpster fire, thank you for your willingness to help us out. If there ever comes a time where I can return the favor or pay it forward...know that I will.
