James,
Our fundamental right to free speech is under attack.
Last week, Brendan Carr, the Trump-appointed chairman of the FCC, bullied
private broadcasters into silencing Jimmy Kimmel's show. Kimmel was
quickly suspended. And while massive public pressure pushed Disney to
reinstate the show, this isn't over yet.
Major broadcasters are still refusing to put Kimmel back on air. And Carr
is nowhere NEAR done trying to control and censor what can and can't be
said on our airwaves. This is what censorship looks like – and it's a
direct violation of our First Amendment.

It's time for Carr to resign NOW. And next week, Our Revolution will be at
the FCC's open meeting – Carr's first public appearance since this attack
on our free speech – making it clear: the American people REFUSE to let
our rights be trampled for political gain and are demanding he go, NOW.
[ [link removed] ]What's at stake isn't just one TV show. We're in the middle of a
dangerous pattern: Add your name now and we'll deliver our voices straight
to the FCC. Brendan Carr must RESIGN IMMEDIATELY before he does more
damage.

Since taking over the FCC, Carr has pushed the limits of free speech –
using threats and regulatory pressure to force one broadcaster after the
next to get in line with Trump's politics.
Then last week he went further than ever, saying publicly it's "long past
the time" that Kimmel be taken off air – and suggesting that stations that
refuse could face fines or even lose their broadcast licenses. Nexstar,
which owns dozens of ABC affiliate networks, pulled Kimmel's show within
hours. Why? It's currently seeking approval from the FCC for a $6.2
billion merger.
Next Tuesday's public meeting at the FCC will focus on the merger – and
we'll be there, alongside allies in the movement, to show Carr and the FCC
that the public will NOT standby and give our government and a handful of
multinational corporations the power to decide what millions see, hear,
and say.

suspension
If Carr gets away with this, no broadcaster – and no speech – is safe. If
he can pressure a network over comedy, what will stop him or other
administration officials from targeting journalists, artists, or activists
next?
That's why we need thousands of supporters – *including you* – to speak
out now. We know what happens when power is allowed to corrupt our media:
marginalized voices vanish, political speech dries up, and democracy
suffers.
[ [link removed] ]Our Revolution is standing up for our freedom of speech at the FCC on
Tuesday. Add your name, raise your voice, and join us to demand Brendan
Carr resign. Let him, and the whole FCC, and the entire Trump
administration know we aren't backing down.

When we organize, we win.
