Sometimes you win. Let's make it a BAD HABIT! (not what Indivisible said, but here's their latest)

https://indivisible.actionkit.com/mailings/view/120658


ABC/Disney is putting Jimmy Kimmel back on the air TONIGHT. 🎉 We took action. We broke through. WE WON.

To the thousands of you who canceled your subscriptions, postponed your Disney vacations, and made ABC/Disney hear your voice: Thank you. You proved to one of the world’s most powerful corporations that there’s a price to pay for bending the knee, and together we notched an important victory for free speech.

But our work isn’t done. We still need a full investigation into the threats made by FCC Chairman Carr and the potential collaboration of broadcasters Nexstar Media Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group -- both of whom still refuse to air Kimmel’s show. Here’s what you can do next:

Email your representative to demand that Carr and his corporate collaborators at Nexstar/Sinclair are called before Congress to testify.

We need to ensure they answer, under oath, about what went on in the days surrounding Carr’s mafioso threat and Kimmel’s removal from the airwaves. (You can also call during business hours.) link follows.

If you’re in a Nexstar (map/list here) or Sinclair (map/list here) TV market, call and email them to demand they resist Trump’s trampling of the First Amendment and air Jimmy Kimmel Live! Contact Nexstar here or contact Sinclair here.

To sustain and grow our resistance, it’s important to celebrate our wins -- and this is one to be proud of. So please savor this people-powered victory and allow yourself, and those around you, to draw energy and inspiration from it. Let’s use it to carry us forward into the next phase of the fight.

In solidarity,
Indivisible Team

They've heard from and will be getting a call everyday until Kimmel is back on.

I also posted the same thing I emailed as a review on Google. Yelp next I think. They probably won't notice, but who knows?
