To the U.S. Senate:

The Biden White House has nominated public-interest champion Gigi Sohn to fill the fifth and final commissioner’s spot at the Federal Communications Commission.

Since January 2021, the FCC has been deadlocked and unable to start many of the bold rulemakings it needs to pursue. We need a fully staffed agency to move on those priorities as soon as possible.

There’s so much we need the FCC to do. The agency must ensure that the billions Congress has invested in broadband affordability actually reach those who need it most. It should restore its authority to regulate broadband and adopt robust Net Neutrality rules. It's also critical that the FCC reckon with media regulators’ history on race and ensure our communications infrastructure can withstand the climate emergency.

We urge you to confirm Gigi Sohn without delay.

    Since January 2021, the FCC has been deadlocked and unable to start many of the bold rulemakings it needs to pursue. After the damage of the Trump era, we need the agency fully staffed and ready to pass public-interest policies as soon as possible. The Senate must confirm Gigi Sohn ASAP.

    There’s so much we need the FCC to do. The agency must ensure that the billions Congress has invested in broadband affordability actually reach those who need it most.

    But none of this vital work can be completed until the Senate confirms Biden’s nominee. Urge the Senate to confirm Gigi Sohn without delay.
