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.
Cái này 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.

Mục 702 của Đạo luật Giám sát Tình báo Nước ngoài
Các cơ quan chính phủ lạm dụng Mục 702 bằng cách tiến hành hàng trăm nghìn cuộc tìm kiếm "cửa sau" đối với các thông tin liên lạc riêng tư của người Mỹ mỗi năm. Quốc hội phải thông qua cải cách thực sự với các biện pháp bảo vệ người Mỹ khỏi sự lạm dụng của chính phủ.
