AB2395: California Legislation Would Have Spelled Destruction of the Landline Network

AB2395 has been left in the “suspense” file and will likely not be moving through the legislature  All your calls, e-mails, and letters made a difference! Thank you for taking action to defend our landline telephones!

The bill would have triggered the loss of thousands of solid union jobs, while reducing communication choices, and cutting off people who depend on wired systems including seniors, rural residents and those with electrical sensitivities. Now AT&T is trying to gradually dismantle California’s landline network with the help of Gavin Newsom’s CPUC.
