42 million Americans still lack broadband access, perpetuating a digital divide. Whether you’re a Midwestern farmer, a tech-savvy executive, or an artist in San Francisco, bridging this gap benefits us all—enhancing security, freedom, and economic growth. govtech.com/network/opinio…

Incredible news. Kudos to @PattyMurray for securing this #funding and putting it toward a critically important cause. The #internet is a critical tool that opens the door for countless opportunities. We will not be equal until #UniversalBroadband access is realized.

@gobluebrod @comcast Great share, @gobluebrod. As difficult as it is to revamp our current broadband infrastructure, it's disappointing to not see more efforts like this one going on. Access to the digital economy should be thought of as an American right.

Here's an implication of the #DigitalDivide we don't often talk about. The #internet is now our nation's No. 1 resource for researching and applying for jobs. How can we expect these communities to progress without access to this critical tool? #homelessness #DigitalExclusion
NYCLU (Find us on Bluesky)@NYCLU

The lack of reliable internet access in homeless shelters makes it that much harder for New Yorkers to transition out of the shelter system. Jobs, apartment listings, health care services and more remain inaccessible without internet. We must close the #digitaldivide 👇👇

Marginalized communities are disproportionately affected by the #DigitalDivide. This reality should heavily guide the way we go about closing these gaps. What are the particular needs of each community? How can we systematically address them? #GenderEquality #DigitalInclusion
Broadband Commission@UNBBCom

Broadband Commissioner and CEO of @Verizon, @hansvestberg shares how participating in the @BrkThroughTech initiative can help narrow the gender #digitaldivide. Learn more in his Gender Impact Story: bit.ly/BBCOMGenderImp…

@plesafortexas @ITCaucus Thanks for sharing, @plesafortexas. It's wonderful to see more and more state legislatures building out programs designed to address digital divides. We have the best shot at closing these gaps when governments, businesses, and communities work together.

"Affordable, reliable high-speed internet is a necessity for every aspect of modern life." It's impossible to understate the impact that will be felt by the loss of the #AffordableConnectivityProgram. We need alternative funding methods - and we need them soon. #ACP #internet
The Pew Trusts@pewtrusts

Imagine the #DigitalDivide—bridged. A network of state broadband officers is working to connect millions of internet-unconnected households across America. But a crucial program they rely on is expected to run out of funds this spring. #FundACP pew.org/3V3owmY

@SenBooker Love to see this, @SenBooker. Improving broadband access isn't just about internet access - it's about improving overall standards of living and increasing access to critical economic opportunities. Kudos to you!
