Everyone deserves broadband! Renew the Affordable Connectivity Program.

904 so far! Help us get to 1,000 signers!

The Affordable Connectivity Program has been a critical lifeline for millions of Americans, providing essential access to high-speed internet. This program has enabled students to continue their education remotely, allowed adults to work from home, facilitated tele-health services, and ensured that individuals remain connected to their loved ones during challenging times. As the expiration date of the ACP approaches, I am deeply concerned about the potential loss of these vital services for those who need them the most. The expiration of this program would disproportionately impact low-income households, exacerbate the digital divide, and hinder our nation's progress towards ensuring universal access to high-speed internet. Therefore, I strongly urge Congress to act swiftly and renew the Affordable Connectivity Program. This renewal is not just a matter of maintaining the status quo but a step forward in building a more connected, inclusive, and equitable society. By renewing this program, Congress will demonstrate its commitment to bridging the digital divide and supporting the ongoing needs of all Americans in the digital age. Thanks.

Ukraine -> If you happen to have spare networking equipment floating around - or would be able to donate $ or € - the Global NOG Alliance has a group working to #KeepUkraineConnected . They've already made one delivery of equipment, and are now working to get more equipment delivered.

Fiber connectivity has supported increased digital participation in South Sudan by making internet access faster and more reliable. This allows individuals and organizations to participate in online learning, communication, and information sharing.

Reliable broadband also supports services that rely on real time access, such as remote collaboration and digital platforms. These capabilities help reduce limitations caused by slow or unstable connections.

The expansion of fiber networks shows how infrastructure improvements can support inclusion and opportunity.
