1. Don't let them restrict the internet - sign the petition - only 300 so far
we need 50,000

Resist the Tower! Fight Media Power!

Two years ago, the Federal Communications Commission tried to weaken the rules that protect our right to local, diverse, competitive media and they tried to do it without getting any input from the public. These changes would have paved the way for a handful of giant companies to own your local media outlets.

What happened next was amazing! Word got out about the FCC’s plan, and the public was outraged. More than 2.2 million people let the FCC know it by sending in their letters!

In the wake of this public mobilization, the courts threw out the FCC's rule changes.


Help us reach our goal of 50,000 signatures!

Current: 309

But, the FCC is at it again. This time, let’s make sure that the public is heard loud and clear before it writes new media ownership rules!

Sign this petition to require at least 10 public hearings across the country. Don’t let the FCC regulate your media behind closed doors.
