23M households rely on the #ACP to get internet service and stay online. Without it, families will face an unaffordable increase in their internet bill, and may be forced offline. I support HR6929/S.3565, the Affordable Connectivity Program Extension Act of 2024. #RenewACP

We’re incredibly proud of Evan Ehlers & @sharingexcess, a former ExCITe Seed Fund grantee! It’s amazing what @DrexelUniv students can do, esp. when you cross innovation with a deep commitment to civic engagement.

Regular produce distributions at @DornsifeCenter will start soon!

OMG. This is what innovative civic engagement looks like!

Evan Ehlers and @sharingexcess were at our @DornsifeCenter community dinner this week, distributing free produce to hundreds of community members. We’re incredibly excited their program will be at Dornsife twice monthly!
