| We’ve waited long enough for a fully functional FCC. Tell the Biden administration and Senate to appoint a fifth FCC commissioner now. We’ve got important work to do.
Friend,
In the waning days of the last administration, the Trump White House and Republican-controlled Senate gave us one final parting gift: a deadlocked FCC. And we’re still waiting for President Biden and the Senate to nominate and confirm a fifth commissioner.
Here’s a non-comprehensive list of priorities that are currently on hold: Tell Biden and the Senate to take action now. Restoring Net Neutrality and its protection against discrimination by ISPs Investigating the history of racism in the media so we can tailor policies to undo centuries of harms Ensuring that people of color have the means to tell and own their own stories Holding ISPs accountable for their abusive behavior Connecting everyone to broadband and other lifesaving communications networks Investigating the federal government’s response to the devastating post-hurricane communications crisis in Puerto Rico Fixing the mess left behind by Trump’s FCC chairman, Ajit Pai We can’t keep waiting. We need a fifth commissioner today. Send a note to the White House and your senators urging them to give the nation a fully functioning FCC ASAP. Take Action Now Thanks for all that you do—
Heather and the rest of the Free Press Action team
