We agree with @agomezfcc.bsky.social: defending free expression and a free press is everyday work. As people of faith, we know our democracy cannot thrive if those in power can silence truth-tellers.

Ethical journalism demands independence — especially from the industries it covers.
By teaming up with Securus on a "correctional telecom" event — a company that profits from prison phone + video calls — Broadband Breakfast is platforming industry interests while silencing those most affected.
