Jack, sign and send: Urge the Senate to swiftly confirm Gigi Sohn to the FCC.

SIGN THE PETITION
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which regulates media communications, comprises five commissioners appointed by the president for five-year terms. A seat on the FCC has remained vacant for over a year because the Senate has not yet confirmed President Biden's nominee, Gigi Sohn.

Sohn is one of the nation's leading public advocates for open, affordable, and democratic communications networks. Corporations have been lobbying fiercely against her confirmation, knowing she would be an excellent public servant and likely hold them accountable.

Sign and send: Urge the Senate to swiftly confirm Gigi Sohn to the FCC.

SIGN THE PETITION
Without basic net neutrality protections, large phone and cable companies — Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T, for example — are able to block, throttle, and slow access to sites and services at will, charge new fees for users and companies to reach audiences online, and freely sell our data. Internet users and small media outlets like Daily Kos are at the mercy of big telecom companies.

The fifth commissioner's seat has stood vacant for too long, interfering with their ability to work on important projects like expanding broadband into rural communities and restoring net neutrality rules. If the Senate strives to put their constituents first, above corporate donor money, then they should confirm a nominee that does the same.

Sign the petition to the U.S. Senate: Confirm Gigi Sohn to the Federal Communications Commission.

Thank you for fighting with us,
