CALL NOW: Tell the House to investigate government censorship of Jimmy Kimmel

What Happened:

On September 17th, ABC/Disney announced it was indefinitely suspending the late-night TV show host Jimmy Kimmel, supposedly in response to comments in his monologue regarding the murder of Charlie Kirk. The events preceding the suspension lay bare the authoritarian bullying and censorship at play. Thanks to our grassroots pressure, Disney, Sinclair and Nexstar all announced they will bring back Jimmy Kimmel Live!. While that’s great news and a testament to our collective power, the fight doesn’t end here.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chair Brendan Carr initially enabled the administration's attempt to silence dissent by threatening to revoke the licenses of any station that aired Jimmy Kimmel Live! Hours later, one of the largest ABC affiliate conglomerates, Nexstar Media Group, announced its local stations were pulling Kimmel’s show off the air. Sinclair Broadcast Group, the largest ABC affiliate group, announced similar action. Even with the show back on the air, they, along with Carr, need to be held accountable.

Congress must exercise its oversight authority by launching immediate investigations. Tell your member of Congress to haul in Brendan Carr and executives from ABC’s affiliates to testify under oath about this corrupt crackdown on dissent.

Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City, State].

The circumstances surrounding the suspension of Jimmy Kimmel Live suggest a coordinated, unconstitutional effort to suppress free speech. Congress has an obligation to investigate.

Can I count on Representative (Name) to support a thorough investigation, including subpoenas of FCC Chair Brendan Carr and ABC affiliates Nexstar and Sinclair?

Thank you!

Thank you for calling your member of Congress about FCC and Disney’s censorship!
