John,

At this very moment, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is in a 2-2 deadlock. There's no reason for this. We have a highly qualified nominee, but Senator Schumer hasn't brought her confirmation for a vote.

We can’t wait any longer to reinstate net neutrality, expand broadband, and ensure that everyone has access to affordable and reliable internet. Make a call and tell Senator Schumer to hold a vote to confirm Gigi Sohn to the FCC now.

CALL NOW

The Senate is running out of time to confirm Sohn to a vacancy that has been open for over a year and has left the commission unable to move forward critical policies, like net neutrality.¹ Biden and other Senators campaigned around reinstating net neutrality, but by leaving this vacancy open, they’re shooting themselves in the foot.

Gigi Sohn is a principled advocate for consumer rights and has fought against Big Telecom her entire career. She would be a real champion for net neutrality. We cannot allow this opportunity to pass.

Take a moment to call Senator Schumer right now and tell him to schedule a vote to confirm Gigi Sohn to the FCC. It’s really easy:

1. Go to BattleForTheNet.com and enter your phone number

2. We’ll connect you to Senator Schumer’s office and give you language to use when you’re connected

3. Tell the person who answers, “I’m calling to urge Senator Schumer to schedule a vote to confirm Gigi Sohn to the FCC immediately. We cannot wait any longer to have a functioning FCC that can reinstate net neutrality, expand broadband access, and promote digital equity.”

That’s it! You can also use our tool on BattleForTheNet.com to tweet at Senator Schumer too.

Time is tight. We need everyone who cares about net neutrality and Internet access to act now to make sure we don’t lose out on this critical opportunity to get a real champ at the FCC.

Please take action now.

Together for the net,

Caitlin at Fight for the Future
