Doris Matsui: “The FCC maintains its commitment to restrain any uncontrolled growth within the Universal Service Fund.”

Access to the internet is not optional. It is how Americans learn, apply for jobs, access healthcare, and stay connected to one another.

His claim that broadcasters will only be allowed to grow when they serve the ‘public interest’ is especially alarming given his record of using the FCC to pressure media companies and advance Donald Trump’s political interests.

Women can’t afford Trump. We can’t afford eggs, we can’t afford attacks on our health care, and we can’t afford the discrimination and abuse by his administration.

The FCC should be protecting those voices, not giving the nation’s largest station owners and the Trump Administration more power over them.
