Rosenworcel Addresses Indigenous Women's Conference on MEP Code

FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel touted the FCC’s upcoming vote on a proposed Missing and Endangered Persons alert code (see 2407160064). “One week from now, the FCC will vote to make it easier to use television, radio, and wireless phones to sound the alarm about missing and endangered persons,” Rosenworcel said Wednesday at a Women Empowering Women for Indigenous Nations event in Prior Lake, Minnesota. “The action the FCC is taking next week is in direct response to a call sent out by Native communities after enduring a crisis of the missing for far too long.” Rosenworcel said the agency had received “powerful testimony” that “provided a voice for the murdered and missing.”
