FCC Commissioner Anna M. Gomez traveled to rural Kentucky for a stop outside of Washington on her First Amendment Tour in which she talked with community leaders and members of the public about what she considers recent attacks by the Administration and the FCC against the First Amendment. She said, “This Administration’s unprecedented efforts to censor and control speech reach every community, including the coal towns and mountain communities of Eastern Kentucky. I was grateful for the opportunity to visit Fleming-Neon in Fletcher County, Kentucky — a rural community like many others that embody the importance of America’s labor and civil rights struggles — to better understand the steps an independent FCC must take to protect every citizen’s right to speak freely and hold power to account. My message to the people of Kentucky was simple: now is the time to stand up and push back against this assault on free expression and remind those in power that the First Amendment is not optional.”
Free Press for the very first stop of our First Amendment Tour outside of Washington. Together, we must continue to stand up for free expression and push back against the Administration’s growing campaign of censorship and control.” Gomez’s office says that as part of her tour, Gomez is partnering with consumer and civil society organizations across the ideological spectrum to participate in speaking engagements and listening sessions focused on protecting the rights and freedoms enshrined in the First Amendment. Most recently, she held an event in partnership with the Center for Democracy and Technology, spoke at the Media Institute, and participated in a workshop held by the Competitive Enterprise Institute and TechFreedom.
