NEW: @NTIAgov today released state funding allocations for the Digital Equity Act: ntia.gov/press-release/… ALA & library pros were on hand at today's event, hosted at the amazing @PGCMLS. Be on the lookout next week for more details & resources on what this means for libraries!
One of my crucial allies in work related to #DigitalEquity is @megan_janicki! Great to see her today.
Thank you Rep. @FrankPallone & @JRosenworcelFCC for joining forces at @redbankpl to call for an urgently needed funding extension for the Affordable Connectivity Program! We couldn't agree more: the ACP has been an essential tool to get Americans access to low-cost broadband.

⏳The countdown starts now. 1 in 6 households will be notified today their #ACP broadband subsidy is ending as early as April. Join us in calling Congress to say #DontDisconnectUS 📞 Learn how to take action: dontdisconnectus.org. More from ALA President Emily Drabinski ⤵️

Thank you to @usmayors for hosting ALA's Megan Janicki to discuss how #LibrariesBuildBusiness in communities nationwide. From mayors & city councils to economic dev. offices, community leaders can partner w/ libraries to deliver tools, training, & value for small businesses!
ALA submitted comments on the @FCC e-rate hotspot proceeding. We applaud the FCC on this proposal though yes we have lots to say about the details... @LibraryPolicy @ALALibrary fcc.gov/ecfs/search/se…
Great news! Bipartisan/bicameral ACP Extension Act was introduced today! Over 400 groups, incl. AAPB & @Benton_Inst endorsed the bill, which would extend the popular program that provides a $30+ broadband subsidy for low-income/tribal/rural families. welch.senate.gov/what-theyre-sa…
Libraries have long been THE community anchor supporting equitable access to information. An open internet is mission critical for libraries & those we serve as we continue to provide access in the digital age. ALA continues to work w @FCC on the implementation of #NetNeutrality
NEW: ALA & @netinclusion launch Digital Inclusion Working Group for library workers to share knowledge & solutions on digital inclusion efforts! Developing an innovative program? Need advice on implementing new services? This is the group for you. More: ala.org/news/member-ne…

It's always a pleasure to write a little something on the big questions we face in broadband deployment today. This time, I'm exploring what happens to the @NTIAgov's #BEAD program if the #ACP is allowed to expire. Check it out at broadbandbreakfast.com/2023/11/ryan-j…
Thank you to this bipartisan group of 26 governors for urging Congress to fund the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), a key funding tool helping us close the #DigitalDivide. "Closing our nation’s digital divide transcends politics." Read the letter: drive.google.com/file/d/15VdYyP…
“Our nation’s public libraries are a valuable asset in tackling some of America’s thorniest problems. But we can’t do it alone” washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…

Kudos to @WhiteHouse for including $6 billion in the domestic supplemental for the Affordable Connectivity Program, the monthly broadband subsidy for low-income, tribal and high cost households. It's critical that *everyone* is connected to the Internet! whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

You know what would be "tough on crime"? 🔹️living wage 🔹️ fully funded schools 🔹️guaranteed access to healthy food 🔹️affordable housing 🔹️universal healthcare 🔹️child care 🔹️treatment for people with substance use disorder and mental illness
There is no world in which the forced famine of 1.1 million people cannot be considered genocide. And that is exactly what we are watching unfold in Gaza now. We must enforce U.S. laws and halt weapons transfers to the Israeli government to stop an atrocity in the making.
