10/27 - Attend the first-ever FCC Public Hearing in Oakland
Congratulations, you asked for it and we got it! Hundreds of you signed our petition urging the FCC to hold a public hearing in Oakland to get the Bay Area's input on the crisis in our media system and their (re)proposed changes to long-standing media ownership limits....
Now the FCC Commissioners are coming to town and we're counting on you to show up and share your wisdom!
Now the FCC Commissioners are coming to town and we're counting on you to show up and share your wisdom!
Two FCC commissioners will be at the downtown Oakland Marriott to hear your public comments, which will be entered into the official record. The FCC will consider these comments as they debate new ownership rules that will allow big media corporations to own even more of what we read, watch and hear.
It's the Bay Area's turn to have a say...tell a friend and join us!
Speak out to stop the media monopoly. Demand media diversity and democracy.
