Friend,

When Vermont kids don't have internet access, it means they can't participate in school. When a parent or grandparent doesn't have internet access, they may miss an appointment with their doctor. When you don't have internet access, you can't work from home.

Lack of broadband is an equity issue. This affects Vermonters all over the state- from Bennington to the NEK, and everywhere in between. We need universal, high speed, reliable broadband. The internet is an essential utility, now more than ever. 

Last week I introduced an $80 billion broadband bill. This Thursday, March 25th, I will join Vermont leaders to discuss where we go from here. Please join us at 6 pm via Zoom and bring your questions.

I hope to see you there,

Peter
