| Friend,
T-Mobile and Sprint have spun a web of lies to make everyone think their proposed merger is good news. But we know the truth: This deal would raise prices, crush competition and disproportionately impact low-income folks and people of color.
We’re doing all we can to stop this merger — but we’ve got good news and bad news...
The bad news is that Trump’s FCC chairman, Ajit Pai, has recommended approval of this deal based on a series of empty promises that will do nothing to address its many harms.
The good news is that the Justice Department (DoJ) still has to approve the merger before it’s a done deal. And the agency is on the fence.
Call Assistant Attorney General Makan Delrahim and California Attorney General Xavier Becerra at 202-849-9287 to urge them to reject this merger.
When the office picks up, here’s what you can say: I’m calling to ask you to block the T-Mobile/Sprint merger. Our antitrust laws should protect us from mergers like this that would raise prices and crush competition.
If the government won’t block this classic massive horizontal merger, then our antitrust laws are meaningless.
This merger would leave the United States with only three nationwide wireless providers — crushing competition, raising prices and eliminating as many as 30,000 jobs across the country.
And the deal would disproportionately harm low-income people and communities of color, who rely on competition between T-Mobile and Sprint (and their prepaid services Boost, Metro and Virgin) to keep access affordable.
This deal cannot happen: Call the Justice Department and the California Attorney General at 202-849-9287 and tell them to do their job and block the T-Mobile/Sprint merger.
Thanks for all you do—

P.S. We still have a chance to stop this thing. Call the Justice Department and the California Attorney General at 202-849-9287 and tell them to block this deal. Here’s the script:
