John,
Gridlock and lobbyist smear campaigns have stalled net neutrality for over three years. Tomorrow, hearings begin for Anna Gomez, the nominee to fill the final seat at the FCC.1,2 This is our single best shot at a functional FCC in this administration.
To restore net neutrality and build an internet that works for everyone, we need to fill the FCC ASAP. Tell the Senate: Quickly confirm Anna Gomez to the FCC!
Take Action
Restoring net neutrality has been a long and arduous battle. Ajit Pai, Trump’s FCC chair, repealed net neutrality protections in 2017. Without them, the telecom industry gleefully takes advantage of everyday users. They’re free to increase prices, censor content, and ignore the ever-increasing digital divide.
The FCC is tasked with regulating Big Telecom. But because it’s been deadlocked, work to make the Internet more fair has been at a standstill. To fulfill Biden’s promise of restoring net neutrality, the Senate must quickly advance Anna Gomez and give the agency its full powers.
After the FCC is filled, we’ll get to work fighting for policies that restrict telecom greed. But first thing’s first. Join us! Tell your senators to quickly confirm Anna Gomez so the FCC can do its job.
Yours,
Caitlin at ❤️ Fight
