Tell Congress: Impeach FCC Chair Brendan Carr

Donald Trump’s Federal Communications Commission chair, Brendan Carr, has issued a public threat to news broadcasters: Report the Iran war the way the administration wants, or lose your license to operate.

This is a direct attack on freedom of the press and freedom of speech. Over the last 15 months, we’ve witnessed a chilling effect on news organizations — they’re pulling coverage, softening headlines, and spiking investigations. Now we’re seeing something else: an unconstitutional abuse of government power. So we’re demanding action.

Add your name now to demand Congress impeach FCC Chair Brendan Carr.
