Manacled by the Trump administration “termination” of the Digital Equity Act (DEA), Internet access advocates still in the fight are invited to save the date for the next Building For Digital Equity (#B4DE) livestream.
Days before Independence Day, the virtual gathering – slated for July 1 from 3 to 4:15 pm ET – will be centered around the theme: “Wired for Freedom: Digital Access and the American Dream.”
The agenda is shaping up to offer attendees new battlefield intelligence and how community-centered organizations and coalitions are carrying on in the face of vital funding and programming cuts.
A line up of digital inclusion advocates working to expand broadband access will share practical insights and inspiration for digital navigators and other frontline workers looking to navigate the shifting landscape.
Register for the free event here.
As with the previous #B4DE events, the live stream will once again be sponsored by UTOPIA Fiber and co-hosted by the Institute for Local Self Reliance (ILSR) Community Broadband Networks Initiative and the National Digital Inclusion Alliance (NDIA).
Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to learn, connect, and make a difference as digital equity advocates across the nation chart a new course forward.
The livestream will be available (and later archived) on Facebook, YouTube, and LinkedIn with live viewer questions answered by the invited speakers and presenters, which is still being finalized.
We will also be live posting from the Community Broadband Networks Bluesky page.
