18 million households in the U.S. are offline because they cannot afford it. In addition to leveraging infrastructure bill and connectivity fund, ISPs must make it easier for people to sign up for their programs, says @emarwell. #ASUGSVSummit
"To be successful, both states and federal agencies and departments would be wise to learn the lessons from previous efforts to close the #digitaldivide." Read my article on how the Infrastructure and Jobs Act can leave #nohomeleftoffline.

Congress has taken a historic step to close the #broadbandaffordability gap, which is two-thirds of the #digitaldivide. We now need a bold public-private partnership to remove the barriers keeping low-income families offline. @EdSuperHighway has a plan: nohomeleftoffline.org

18 million American households have access to the Internet but can't afford to connect. Our new #nohomeleftoffline report provides insights into the #broadbandaffordability gap and the opportunities that exist to close it. nohomeleftoffline.org

We ought not argue about what bringing affordable, high-speed internet to unserved and underserved communities will cost.
What will it cost to the future of these communities if they don’t have access to modern education, health care, and employment?
That's the real question.
The pandemic has made it clear that without broadband, American’s are shut out of economic security and opportunity. This morning, I was on CNN to talk about how President Biden’s infrastructure plan can close the digital divide. video.snapstream.net/Play/4o…

Honored to help Clementine and other @Recidiviz innovators drive meaningful change in the criminal justice space. #TIME100NEXT time.com/collection/time100-…
Couldn't agree more. We have 10-15 M kids without home broadband. @EdSuperHighway has pivoted its work to connect these kids now that 99.7% of schools are connected.

COVID has both exposed and exacerbated the #digitaldivide. The good news is: we can close it. I’m thrilled to talk about bold solutions with @JebBush @larry_irving & J. Adelstein with Stefanie Sanford of @CollegeBoard for @ExcelinEd’s #EdPalooza next week: excelined.org/edpalooza/
Thank you to the nonprofit leaders who are stepping up across the country at a time when students need us the most.

We had a great discussion. Thanks, @NULpolicy for having me on #ForTheMovement.
Our founder @emarwell joined @ClintEOdom and @ToniWiley_1789 on the @NULpolicy podcast to talk about how we can get more kids connected to the Internet for #remotelearning and #digitallearning: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

This report shows the progress we're making bringing states, cities, school districts, Internet service providers, and philanthropy together to close the K-12 #digitaldivide.
Every student deserves equal access to education, including #digitallearning. Our latest report with @BCG and @CommonSense offers solutions for how to close the #digitaldivide once and for all: educationsuperhighway.org/bl…
It's a new era in which we leverage data
to make government dramatically more effective and
impactful.

I can't talk about the benefit of a finite goal enough. It was incredibly instrumental to our ability to avoid mission-creep.
“If we identify and work towards finite goals, we can see remarkable innovation – and success.” – @emarwell on how finite goals can accelerate success

Glad to have you on board.

Nonprofit partnerships don’t always have to be with orgs doing similar work. Consider high-visibility ways to bring attention to your mission like partnerships with policy leaders. educationsuperhighway.org/ou…
