Tell the FCC to Modernize Lifetime Today

This month, the Federal Communications Commission will vote on the proposal to modernize the Lifeline program to include broadband Internet.   For decades, the Lifeline program has successfully helped families across America pay for basic telephone services that connect them to emergency services, doctors, schools, job opportunities, and more. But in 2016, people are using the Internet for many of these services, so families need to have the choice of using the subsidy for Internet access. Nearly 4000 people have signed our Change.org petition asking the FCC to vote yes on the proposal to bring millions of Americans. We will be submitting the petition to the FCC next week, but we still need 1000 signatures to reach our goal. Thank you to the thousands of supporters who signed our petition. If you already signed, please spread the word and share the message on social media so we can reach our goal. If you haven't signed, now's your chance! Every voice will count when the FCC considers the proposal this month. You can tune into the FCC open meeting to watch the vote here on March 31st and follow along on social media using #FCCLive.
