TELL THE FCC: Charter Communications and Cox want to merge into a
mega-corporation that would dominate the cable and broadband market. This
merger would slash competition, raise prices, and hand even more control
to massive corporations. We have to stop it. Sign the petition: The FCC
must block the Charter-Cox megamerger, before it's too late.

Hi,
A $34.5 billion disaster is barreling toward our cable and internet
access, and we have to stop it.
Charter Communications and Cox want to merge into a mega-corporation that
would dominate the cable and broadband market. If the FCC approves this
deal, millions of us will likely face higher prices, worse service, and
fewer choices.
This merger would slash competition and hand even more control to massive
corporations. Fewer providers mean higher bills and slower speeds for
families who rely on the internet every day.

Charter is even reportedly using MAGA-style rhetoric to win favor with the
Trump administration. They're politicizing broadband access to push their
agenda. That should outrage anyone who believes in a fair, independent
media regulation.
Workers stand to lose big if this deal goes through. History shows that
mega-mergers lead to layoffs, wage cuts, and weaker labor rights.
Broadband workers deserve security, not corporate greed.
The FCC has the power to stop this. Under federal law, it must reject any
deal that doesn’t serve the public interest. This merger fails that test
in every way.
We need to tell the FCC: No more monopolies. No more backroom deals. We
want an internet that works for everyone.
