We have a question: Why do millions of Americans lack access to high-speed broadband in the country that invented the internet?
It’s time to start treating access to the Internet like the essential public utility it is. The Broadband Justice Act — introduced by Rep. Jamaal Bowman — would expand affordable broadband access to 8 million households, ensuring nobody is disconnected because they don't have the infrastructure or can't afford the cost.
If you agree that broadband should be a subsidized public utility, add your name next to mine, Rep. Bowman's, and our allies' in support of the Broadband Justice Act.
There’s a reason that Ro put “universal web access” as the #1 principle on his proposed Internet Bill of Rights. In the 21st century, access to the Internet is a lifeline — and that’s more true than ever during the COVID-19 pandemic.
There was a 154% increase in the use of telehealth services during the first month of the pandemic alone. And since schools closed, millions of students and educators have been relying on broadband to continue their classes.
No Internet access means no work-from-home, no virtual doctor’s appointments, and no online school.
Subsidizing high-quality broadband as a public utility is essential to moving our country forward and ending the digital divide. And now we have the opportunity to build support for legislation that does just that.
