Friend — Last week, the Biden administration marked its first 100 days in office. By now, you’ve heard all about the administration’s accomplishments and priorities — including a proposed $100 billion to get people connected to affordable high-speed internet, which follows years of advocacy by Free Press Action and our allies.
Now, we’re excited to share with you just a few highlights of our movement’s progress over those 100 days — influencing the White House and Congress, transforming newsrooms, and holding Big Media and Big Tech accountable.
None of this would have been possible without the support and actions of people like you:
* The Media 2070 team advocated for media reparations through a series of inspiring, movement-building events over the course of February.

* We testified before Congress, providing critical information and urging action on the Emergency Broadband Benefit that we helped shape for December’s COVID-19 relief bill.

* We hosted a congressional briefing featuring remarks from Sen. Ed Markey on the need to restore Net Neutrality rules under Title II.

* We’ve been co-leading the push alongside Sen. Ron Wyden for the Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act, which would rein in invasive government surveillance practices that disproportionately target immigrants and people of color.

* We joined with our allies to release a 4-step plan to upend Big Tech’s hate-for-profit business model.

* We launched the Ya Basta Facebook campaign with our coalition partners, building off our work that uncovered a significant and insidious campaign of Spanish-language disinformation on Facebook.

* The News Voices team took action to transform local journalism in Colorado, New Jersey and Philadelphia, helping to foster connections between journalists and the communities they report on.

* We have successfully kept Trump off Facebook for months and we're working hard to keep off him the platform permanently.

This is just a small sampling of what we’ve done in the first 100 days of the Biden administration.

And I want to stress what we’ve done. “We” very much includes you. We couldn’t have accomplished any of this without the 1.4 million activists like you who sign our petitions, call their legislators and donate to make our work possible.
If you can, please consider making a donation today to support the accomplishments we’ll see over the next 100 days, and the next 100 days after that, and the next 100 days after that …
