Internet Access Para sa Lahat
Ang pag-access sa Internet ay naging mahalaga para sa pakikilahok sa ating Demokrasya. Ngunit pinipigilan ng digital divide ang mahigit 4 na milyong Amerikano na ma-access ang koneksyon sa internet.
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.
Ito 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.
