Jack, after a long impasse we may finally have the votes needed to advance Gigi Sohn's nomination to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The timeline is tight, and the opposition is well-funded, so we need your help to confirm this highly qualified, fierce consumer advocate.

Sign and send to your U.S. senators: Confirm Gigi Sohn to the FCC.

Early this year, a bombshell report detailed Comcast's “absolutely unprecedented” lobbying blitz to stop net neutrality by blocking President Biden’s FCC nominee. Without net neutrality, the monopolies that control our internet access can throttle data speed, block services they don’t like, and jack up your internet bill with phony fees. That’s why Comcast is hellbent on stopping Gigi Sohn.

The lobbying blitz has had grotesque outcomes. Sohn, who would be the first openly gay FCC commissioner, has endured threatening phone calls and emails, name-calling, and bigoted attacks on her sexual orientation.

Sign and send to your U.S. senators: Confirm Gigi Sohn to the FCC.

Sohn has spent her career working on behalf of consumers and advocating for open, affordable and democratic communications networks—drafting critical protections that stopped large phone and cable companies from exploiting Americans. She has garnered broad, bipartisan support from civil rights leaders, progressive organizations, consumer watchdogs, privacy and rural broadband advocates, and even some industry groups.

On a personal note, through this campaign, I have come to admire and respect not only Gigi's commitment to a free and fair internet, but her commitment to a government of, for, and by the people. She is one of us and multi-billion dollar corporations are attacking her for it.

If we lose, it can't be because we didn't fight. Even if you have before, please sign and send a petition to your U.S. senators urging them to confirm Gigi Sohn before the end of the year.

SIGN AND SEND A PETITION
Keep fighting,
