FCC's Advisory Committee on Diversity and Digital Empowerment Makes Statement on Civil Rights Demonstrations and the Racial Divide

The Federal Communications Commission’s Advisory Committee on Diversity and Digital Empowerment has issued a statement regarding recent civil rights demonstrations, in which it reaffirmed that, in light of recent events:

"We believe that the protection of constitutional rights and access to full empowerment under the Constitution are necessary and fundamental to a true United States. Our work to develop and implement policies, practices, and processes for universal broadband, diverse workforce and suppliers, and meaningful ownership opportunities for people of color in the communications, media, and technology sectors is more critical than ever."
