Commissioner Gomez Announces First Amendment Tour

FCC Democratic Commissioner Anna Gomez has announced a First Amendment Tour designed to challenge government censorship and control. The announcement states that the Tour will consist of various speaking engagements and listening sessions focused on First Amendment rights and freedoms “and fighting back against this Administration’s ongoing campaign of censorship and control.”

Gomez asserts that the FCC is “being weaponized to attack freedom of speech in the media and telecommunications sector.”  “Silencing dissenting voices is not a show of strength—it’s a sign of fear. We must continue to speak out against this growing campaign of censorship and control before this dangerous new normal becomes the status quo.”

The first Tour event was hosted by the Center for Democracy and Technology in Washington DC on Thursday, April 24, 2025.
