Booker, Lankford, Rosen, Graham Lead Bipartisan Effort to Surge Internet Access for the Iranian People

WASHINGTON, DC - U.S. Senators Cory Booker, James Lankford (R-OK), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), all members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, sent a bipartisan letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio urging the Administration to quickly strengthen and expand efforts that help the Iranian people maintain access to the internet as protests against the regime grow and Tehran imposes widespread digital blackouts.

"We write today in defense of America's long-standing and bipartisan commitment to support programs that enable internet freedom for the people of Iran, which is more important than ever as the people of Iran protest against the regime in record numbers," the Senators wrote."In light of the current events in Iran, we urge the administration to surge resources to quickly enable critical internet freedom support to the largest pro-American population in the Muslim Middle East."
