The Multicultural Cultural Media, Telecom and Internet Council (MMTC) announced
today that Dr. Ronald Johnson has been elected to serve as Chair of its Board of Directors, succeeding the Hon. Julia L.
Johnson, who has resigned from her post.

In recognition of the 50th anniversary of Dr. King’s assassination, MMTC calls upon the FCC to close the digital divide in all its manifestations and act now to ensure equal opportunity in employment and ownership, and in access to essential communications for the most dispossessed.

FCC’s recent proposal to streamline the review process to accelerate 5G deployment is a viable road map worthy of full review..

Watch MMTC Acting President and CEO Maurita Coley and Commissioner Clyburn discuss the biggest diversity issues on the 2017-2018 FCC dockets, including Lifeline, Net Neutrality, Inmate Calling, and Diverse Ownership and Programming.

The Multicultural Media, Telecom and Internet Council, along with 12
other national civil rights, consumer advocate, social service, and professional organizations that represent
millions of constituents across the country (collectively, “Lifeline Supporters”), have filed Comments in the
Federal Communications Commission’s Lifeline proceeding. The Lifeline Supporters strongly oppose FCC
proposals that would harm low-income minorities and seniors by deeply shrinking and ultimately eviscerating the
Lifeline program.

MMTC’s 2017 included numerous briefings, filings, and events on Lifeline, 5G, jobs and apprenticeship opportunities, the open internet proceeding, diverse broadcast ownership, STEM opportunities for students, and much more!
