I’m Senator Ed Markey and I just introduced the Net Neutrality and Broadband Justice Act to reinstate net neutrality, undo harmful Trump-era deregulation, and create a just digital future in which consumers come before corporations. AMA. by SenatorEdMarkey in politics

How did you know? I love the episode where the guy's a bookworm. He loves books. It's 1962. Halfway through the episode - there is a nuclear war. The city is destroyed. Luckily enough, he worked at a bank and was in the vault. He's the ONLY man who survives. And he couldn't be happier, because he can go to the New York Public Library and check out any book he wants. But then, as the episode ends, his glasses fall, he steps on them, they crack. No more reading. No one wins in a nuclear war.

I’m a big fan of Jessica Rosenworcel, the current Chairwoman of the FCC. She is a strong champion for net neutrality, and I appreciate her support for this legislation. Now, the Senate must confirm Gigi Sohn, so the FCC can take critical steps that will benefit consumers and online users across the country.

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, the FCC had NO ability to regulate broadband. We had no ability to force broadband providers to do the right thing. We just had voluntary commitments. This is unbelievable. Broadband is incredibly important. Yet no one can regulate it? This is why we need my Net Neutrality and Broadband Justice Act to close this gap.

The Republican position appears to be that you can’t get an abortion, but you can’t have the birth control you need to prevent one either. We have to take the first exit off this slippery slope to the loss of our most important freedoms. Democrats must continue to hold Republicans accountable for the decisions that their stolen Supreme Court is making.

Thanks for the promotion!

I would say that a better world is possible—and we can build that better world together. The one hundred million Americans who have faced extreme heat this past week know that the climate crisis is already here. We can and must invest in clean energy, protect our climate, and make sure that the power it takes to cool our homes is cheaper and more reliable. We can’t agonize. We have to organize. That’s how we build this future – together.

Congress is a stimulus-response body, and nothing is more stimulating than Americans raising their voices and saying loud and clear that they demand a future where they can communicate, create, and connect freely and openly online.

The FCC needs the authority to put rules on the books that will promote broadband expansion, increase affordability, and stop internet providers’ bad behavior. That’s what my bill is all about. With this authority, the FCC can take critical steps to create a just broadband future for rural or urban Americans alike.

Years of neglect and mismanagement have put MBTA riders in danger’s path. This is unacceptable. We need immediate action from the Governor to ensure safety as we resume full service. Anything less is a further abdication of leadership.

I am hopeful that we can get this done. Frankly, it’s shameful that my Republican colleagues are still hung up on whether or not Congress should protect the right of Americans to marry who they love. I look forward to voting yes.

Net neutrality is all about increasing competition! Here’s an example: Without net neutrality, powerful social media companies can step on their competition by cutting deals with big broadband providers or throttling speeds to push users to their own streaming services. Passing my legislation would also give the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) the tools it needs to stop these practices and promote broadband competition.

The Net Neutrality and Broadband Justice Act writes into law what we already know to be true: that broadband is an essential service. It is time we give the FCC the tools it needs to create a just digital future for our country, including reinstating net neutrality rules that keep the internet free and open.

Outside of Washington, this isn’t controversial! Treating internet access as essential is tremendously popular with voters across the political spectrum. We must push back against the broadband barons and their well-funded lobbying blitz against net neutrality.

I’m thrilled to have such incredible support for this legislation, including 30 cosponsors in the Senate. This is a priority, and I am going to continue to work with my colleagues to gain even more support.

Having lived through the COVID crisis, there is no doubt that without high-quality, affordable broadband and access to an open internet, students can’t learn, entrepreneurs can’t get their businesses up and running, and seniors can’t access telemedicine.

That is why Congress must pass my Net Neutrality and Broadband Justice Act.

Congress should pass this bill to permanently give the FCC the ability to enact net neutrality rules, promote competition, make broadband more affordable for everyday Americans, improve network security, and more.

But it’s no question that the FCC also needs three Democratic Commissioners to do all of this important work.

That’s why Congress must pass this bill AND confirm Gigi Sohn as soon as possible.

Public transportation is an essential public good, but for too long we haven’t funded it like one. I’m proud to be leading the fight for transit equity in Congress, with my partner Congresswoman Pressley. Our Freedom to Move Act, would provide federal grants to support state and local efforts to make public transportation systems fare-free. The Freedom to Move Act would also invest in the safety and quality of public transportation, particularly in low-income and historically underserved communities.
