Massive and unprecedented corporate media consolidation and deregulation since the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 has caused significant harm to our democracy and culture.

In response, organizations representing millions of Americans have put forward the Bill of Media Rights. The Bill is a milestone in the media reform movement that presents a positive and unified vision for a competitive, diverse, and independent media to better serve our nation's democracy and culture, today and tomorrow.

By signing onto the "Bill of Media Rights" Campaign, you are joining the multitude of individuals and organizations that believe a free and vibrant media, full of diverse and competing voices, is the lifeblood of America's democracy and culture, as well as an engine of growth for its economy. Please consider adding your voice to the effort.

The following city councils have passed resolutions in support of the Bill of Media Rights: Portland, Maine; South Portland, Maine; Greene, Maine; Brunswick, Maine; Limerick, Maine; and Standish, Maine.   Learn how to pass a resolution in favor of the Bill of Media Rights in your community.
