From our VP @amalia_deloney. Thanks @TechnicallyBMR
"With this vote, residents have said that our digital future demands we don't throw the baby out with the bathwater," said @DeutschFound's @amalia_deloney about Baltimore prohibiting sale of its conduit system during #ElectionDay bit.ly/3UHL5dx
Our first Digital Equity Showcase has begun. We're so excited to hear from @OpenWorksBmore @thevlp @centralbaltpart Johnston Square Neighborhood, @NDCMaryland, Mt. Sinai Church and @29SCC with opening remarks by @NextCentCit. Please visit our website for a recording, tomorrow.
Always a crowd favorite, @communitynets and colleague join the #DELab tonight. No pressure, but they only have 57 minutes left to nail the snark.
#DigitalEquity
Thanks for joining the #DELab @mattfwood. We appreciated everything you had to share. These lobbying dollars dwarf most annual non profits' budgets, in a day! #timetochange #educate #agitate #organize
We're minutes away from DELL Workshop #2, where we will learn about the lobbying power of the ISPs and the role that plays in exacerbating the digital divide. Thank you @freepress + @mattfwood #DELab
