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.

Sign the petition: The FCC must block the Charter-Cox megamerger!

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.

Sign the petition: Block the Charter-Cox merger!

Thanks for taking action,

Joey and the team at Demand Progress
