An Ohio teacher, who was reading The Sneetches to her Grade 3 class, was abruptly cut off by an admin when a student said "It's almost like what happened back then, how people were treated. Like, disrespected. Like, white people disrespected Black people.”

It's essential we support #HB1723. We spoke to so many underserved community members and they were clear - this is the bill we need. It's frustrating to hear @ATT @TMobile and @Verizon aren't being honest. We must support digital equity now, our communities deserve better.

Our digital equity team wants to IMPROVE #WAHB1723 - testify PRO. YES, we need more devices, skills, internet, and community leadership. We MUST do more to center racial equity + create change our communities need to thrive.
