Your state attorney general is part of a lawsuit that could stop the T-Mobile/Sprint merger. Call him at 202-849-9287 to say “thank you and stay strong.” We can’t let the states cave to the will of powerful wireless companies at this crucial moment.

Friend,

BREAKING: The FCC has just voted along party lines to approve the T-Mobile/Sprint merger.

That’s right: This dangerous deal that would crush competition, raise prices, eliminate thousands of jobs and leave the United States with only three viable nationwide wireless-service providers is one step closer to becoming a reality.

Now it’s up to the courts to decide. Attorneys general from more than a dozen states and the District of Columbia have joined a lawsuit to block the merger, which could save the day. But state AGs are facing enormous pressure from T-Mobile to drop the case and two states (Mississippi and Colorado) have already caved and settled.

We need the remaining states to hold strong in their lawsuit to block this merger, and your state is a crucial part of this. Call California Attorney General Xavier Becerra at 202-849-9287 and encourage him to stay in the fight.

Here’s what you can say: “I’m calling to thank Attorney General Xavier Becerra for his lawsuit to block the T-Mobile/Sprint merger. Please tell him to hold strong because Californians cannot afford for this merger to go through.”

The fight against this merger has been a long one, but we’ve made an impact every step of the way. And that’s because of you. Your petitions and phone calls are part of why the attorneys general across the country launched their lawsuit to begin with. And it’s because of you that we believe we will win.

The T-Mobile/Sprint merger will make wireless phone access more expensive for everyone, but the disproportionate harm will fall on people of color and poor folks, who rely on current competition between these two companies to access affordable phone plans that the deal would end.

Could you make one more call to help stop this disastrous deal? All you have to do is dial 202-849-9287 and tell your attorney general to hold strong in their lawsuit against T-Mobile/Sprint.

Thanks for all that you do—

P.S. If this deal goes through every single person in this country is going to pay more for wireless access, with poor people and people of color suffering the most. Call 202-849-9287 to urge your attorney general to keep fighting to block this deal.>
