learning at #netinclusion24 - be aware of the “locates process” call #811 before you dig. Gives 3 days to tag infrastructure assets. If things don’t get tagged,things get hit!

#Appalachia, like many places in the US, is already plagued by barriers of #affordability. #ACP has been a lifeline to millions who otherwise wouldn't be online. Contact your congressperson today! #SavetheACP #DontdisconnectUS
Something felt off today. That feeling was the loss of one of the kindest and warmest people I’ve had the good fortune to know. My heart is with the entire Davis family today as they process this incredible loss. #OneLove @DavisWand – at Strongsville, OH

Mourning the loss of @ASC3CLE co-founder Percel Davis, a tireless worker for digital equity in Cleveland for 20+ years. Our thoughts are with @DavisWand, Percel's family and his many, many friends. @netinclusion

This is progress! Kudos to the @WhiteHouse for recognizing the necessity of affordable broadband. Now, we need Congress to make it real.
NEWS: @WhiteHouse requests $6B for affordable broadband. Over 21M Americans benefiting from #ACP can breathe a bit easier today. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…
⚠️❗NOW, we have urgent work with Congress. Take Action: digitalinclusion.org/acp-adv…
I finally made it to DC! (Good grief American!!) Can’t wait to celebrate the next @MarconiSociety fellow Hari Balakrishnan and @VintonGCerf on his lifetime of achievement!
