The group discussed how public education, lobbying, and media attention can help ensure that high speed internet connections are built where they are most needed, that corporations are held accountable for providing high quality service, and that the funds support good, union jobs in our communities. https://cwa-union.org/news/cwa-members-build-skills-advocate-for-broadband-buildout-and-good-jobs

The legislation, which has passed the House of Representatives and awaits action in the Senate, will get big money out of politics, ensure our freedom to vote, and guarantee that congressional districts are drawn to give fair representation for all. https://cwa-union.org/news/essential-workers-are-essential-our-democracy

Klein The Florida State Legislature has unanimously passed CS/SB 1120 (the "Bill"). Telemarketing businesses will notice many similarities between the Bill and the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA"). Most notably is the creation of a private right of action. If signed into law by Governor Ron DeSantis, the Bill will go into effect on July 1, 2021, significantly updating both the Florida Telemarketing Act and the Florida Do Not Call Act to create what would be the equivalent of a Florida TCPA. Telemarketers should be mindful of the updates contained in the Bill and take appropriate measures to comply with its provisions should it pass into law. https://www.mondaq.com/unitedstates/advertising-marketing-branding/1077338/new-florida-tcpa-legislation-passed?email_access=on
