Friend,

HAPPENING NOW: Free Press Action and our friends from the Center for Media Justice, Common Cause and the Communications Workers of America are on Capitol Hill briefing congressional staffers about the harmful impacts of the T-Mobile/Sprint merger.

Tune in to watch Mega Mergers and the War on the Poor, a discussion about how this deal would affect low-income communities and people of color. You’ll hear from Carmen Scurato and Gaurav Laroia of Free Press Action, Erin Shields of the Center for Media Justice, Yosef Getachew of Common Cause and Hooman Hedayati of the Communications Workers of America.

For nearly a year we’ve been fighting this proposed job-killing merger, which would raise prices, crush competition and disproportionately impact low-income people and communities of color.

While you’re watching the livestream, will you take a minute to tweet at your representative about this deal? (All you have to do is click the tweet below).

• @RepTedLieu the T-Mobile/Sprint merger would lead to the loss of nearly 30,000 jobs, raise prices, crush competition and disproportionately impact low-income people and communities of color. Please tell the FCC to #StopTmobileSprint.

The FCC will have the final say on this deal, but members of Congress can speak out now to register their opposition.

Thanks for watching and tweeting!
