John,

President Biden has re-nominated leading public activist Gigi Sohn to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to fill a Democratic seat vacant since January 2021.

Sohn is one of the nation’s leading public advocates for open, affordable and democratic communications networks. Daily Kos worked closely with her while she was a top aide at the FCC during the Obama administration, where she championed and implemented net neutrality rules that were later repealed under Donald Trump.

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

 

 

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.

Sohn is a Distinguished Fellow at the Georgetown Law Institute for Technology Law & Policy and a Benton Senior Fellow & Public Advocate. She sits on the Board of Directors of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and has strong support from the nation's leading civil rights organizations due to her commitment to engaging frontline communities. Sohn would be the Commission’s first openly LGBTQ+ commissioner, providing lived experience to a critical governing body.

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

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
