You Can Make a Difference with a Two-Minute Phone Call: Urge Lawmakers to Vote NO on the JCPA
The Journalism Competition and Preservation Act (JCPA) is an industry-written bill that would pad the profits of media conglomerates like Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. The JCPA is a bailout for the very same corporations that have laid off journalists and harmed communities with consolidation.
The JCPA would do nothing to help local reporters or expand coverage in communities that aren't being served.
If Congress really wants to promote local journalism, we have plenty of ideas for how it could do it that don’t involve massive giveaways to broadcasters that have harmed communities of color and given a huge megaphone to right-wing talking points.
The JCPA is rumored to be moving its way through a key committee very soon and we need your help to stop it. Take two minutes to call your representative in the House and urge them to vote NO on the JCPA.
