The protests target Verizon stores in part because Pai was the company’s associate general counsel from 2001 to 2003. “At each protest, participants will carry signs with messages like, ‘Killing net neutrality hurts small businesses,‘” he said. “Right now we are laser focused on stopping the FCC from getting to a vote on Dec. 14,” Greer said. HuffPost spoke to one of those volunteers, Emma Dill, who helped organize the protest planned at the Verizon store in the Bryant Park area of Manhattan. Greer said he had not “seen any official response” from Verizon on the protests.
