Props to CNET for taking on a critically underreported problem: 5G won't close the digital divide.
Also quotes from me on the perpetual problem of bad data on broadband access (not to mention adoption) cnet.com/news/5g-hype-isnt-g…

The #2020census is on track to severely undercount people of color—even more so than the past 2 surveys, writes @alv9n: urbn.is/2Z3YBve

NEW: More than 4 million people could be left out of the #2020Census, according to new projections by the @urbaninstitute. Next year's count could lead to the worst undercount of black and Latinx people in the U.S. since the 1990 census👇

At the @DigitalEqLab workshop on data justice: #PowerNotParanoia. Learning one: stop saying Detroit is coming back. It sounds like MAGA

Learning two: Detroit has 40% residents without broadband access. But expanding access can’t happen without digital protection, we need to stop and think before just pushing through the Internet. @DigitalEqLab #OurDataBodies

After the morning panel on 3/28, we’re hosting a participatory workshop in which attendees will learn practical data justice skills for community safety and collective self-determination. Interested? Email DELab@newschool.edu. #OurDataBodies #DataJustice
