Important Update from the Oregon Institute For A Better Way

🔹 Urgent Advocacy for Affordable Broadband 🔹

We’re excited to share a significant development in the quest for universal internet access! Rep. Susan Wild, representing the spirit of community and progress, has taken a pivotal step by sending a letter to Congressional leadership. This letter, supported by over 70 colleagues, advocates for the continuation of funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP).

Key Highlights:

• The ACP, part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, offers crucial broadband subsidies.
• It currently aids over 36,584 households in PA-07 and more than 21 million nationwide.
• This program is a lifeline for many, ensuring access to high-speed, affordable internet.

Why It Matters:

• Internet access is no longer a luxury; it’s a necessity for thriving in the 21st-century economy.
• The looming risk of the ACP running out of funds in early 2024 puts millions at risk of losing this essential service.

📢 Our Stance:
At the Oregon Institute For A Better Way, we believe in equitable access to technology for all. We stand with Congresswoman Wild in her commitment to expanding access to high-speed, affordable broadband. This aligns with our mission to foster a more connected, informed, and empowered community.
