Friend,

But the ACP is going to run out of money unless Congress steps in. Urge lawmakers to fund the Affordable Connectivity Program before it’s too late.

Friend,
You don’t need me to tell you that the cost of home internet is ridiculously expensive. And for too many people, that hefty price tag put home internet far out of reach — until the FCC created the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP).
The ACP gives households living near the poverty line or enrolled in federal-aid programs like Medicaid and SNAP up to $30 per month for the internet package of their choosing — and $75 per month for people living on Tribal lands. Those discounts have prompted nearly 19 million households to enroll in the ACP, and enrollment numbers are only going up.
Here’s the problem: Unless Congress invests more funding in the ACP, it will run out of money.
Urge lawmakers to step up and fund the Affordable Connectivity Program.

Home internet is as necessary as electricity. But if lawmakers don’t fund the ACP, millions of people will lose internet access — and will find it much more difficult to apply for jobs, access health care, connect to educational opportunities, stay informed and stay in touch with loved ones.
People are relying on the ACP to make ends meet and ensure they can participate in everyday life. Tell Congress to invest more money in the Affordable Connectivity Program.
