Friend, We urge candidates and policymakers get to work on: Ending the digital divide and making broadband affordable for everyone. Passing comprehensive federal privacy and civil-rights protections. Upholding the FCC’s authority to safeguard broadband users and protect Net Neutrality. Building resilient communications infrastructure as the ever-worsening climate crisis threatens internet, mobile phone and other networks. Supporting efforts to end exorbitant prison-phone rates. Stopping the government from buying people’s private information. Eliminating algorithmic discrimination and biased artificial intelligence (AI) that perpetuates biases that create inequitable experiences for users. Requiring transparency from social-media platforms on how they use our personal information. Keeping platforms open for user-generated content while holding them accountable for harms to users and not shutting down sites or silencing disfavored speech. Fostering diverse media ownership and community-rooted solutions to the local-news crisis. Protecting journalism jobs and investing in civic media’s future. Advocating for reparation proposals and reparative actions that redress the harms the media and policymakers have inflicted on Black people and Black communities.At a time of rising distrust in mainstream media, declining local-news coverage and the rise of social media as a source of news and information, we can’t wait any longer for real change. If you agree, add your name to endorse our 2024 Media and Technology Policy Platform. | ||||||||
