Internet Access For All
Internet access has become crucial for participating in our Democracy. Yet the digital divide prevents over 4 million Americans from accessing internet connection.
The Digital Divide is the Civil Rights Issue of Our Time
Why is Internet Access a Democracy Issue?
In the modern age, the internet is necessary for access to education, health care, and connection to friends and family. The past decade has also confirmed that internet access is crucial to actively participating in our modern democracy. Our phones, tablets, and laptops have become tools for:
- Checking voter registration status online
- Accessing voting instructions, wait times, and deadlines
- Looking up information about candidates/ ballot issues
- Sharing election information with community members
Why is the Digital Divide a problem?
1 in 5 Americans cannot afford the internet connection they need to participate as equals in our modern society.
This Digital Divide impacts the Black, Latine, Indigenous, Older, Low Income, and Disabled communities the most. These communities often exist in Information gaps making them vulnerable to mis and disinformation about our democratic process.

Статья V Кампания
Богатые спонсоры, корпорации и радикально-правые деятели продвигают призывы к принятию Конвенции по статье V в штатах по всей стране, чтобы изменить нашу Конституцию в своих интересах.
Пугает то, что им не хватает всего нескольких штатов, чтобы добиться успеха.
