Decades of runaway media consolidation have gutted local media & harmed our communities -- and FCC Chairman Carr wants to allow more of it.

Here's what we told the agency:

Free Press Urges the Carr FCC to Abandon Plans to Let Big Broadcast Conglomerates Become Even Bigger
It’s irresponsible for the Carr FCC to eliminate the remaining limits on runaway consolidation—and communities will suffer the consequences if this plan goes through.

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

The US Holocaust Memorial Museum says that “genocide prevention” is a key part of its mission.

But they are silent on Israel's #genocide in #Gaza.

Museum executives have received 60K emails urging @ushmm.bsky.social to end its silence.

We should have the House right now. Let me say it again: we should have the House.

This ain’t just a Texas problem, it’s a national problem. They’re stealing seats to keep power, and that’s how we ended up with Speaker Johnson instead of Speaker Jeffries.

They can’t win fair, so they cheat.
