Slower & More Expensive! LA Times article sounding the alarm on price disparities for internet service in LA County. https://t.co/jwAXSNt7Ay #ClosetheDivide#DigitalEquityLA
Right now @californiapuc is determining if they will award 3 LA broadband projects critical FFA funding. We urge commissioners to vote YES. These projects offer community-driven solutions that will bring connectivity to residents & businesses that need it most! #DigitalEquityNOW
The phrase “it’s not our lesson to learn” misses the reality for those most impacted by the decisions rooted in WHITE PRIVILEGE—lessons POC have long understood. We already know the system is against us. It’s not our lesson, but it is our burden we will bear.
@EvaLongoria, it’s important to acknowledge our civil rights icon @DoloresHuerta for the ‘Si Se Puede’ chant. Let’s make sure Latinas, especially our trailblazers, get the recognition they deserve 💐 #SiSePuede#DNC2024CHICAGO

"There is a saying. First they ignore you, then they fight you, then you win."
More than ever before, people are paying attention to digital inequities and their impacts on low-income and historically oppressed communities.
Moreover, California is closer than ever to bridging the divide. Our sponsored bill, #AB2239 (@AsmMiaBonta) could be a monumental step towards closing the digital gap.
We're calling on legislators to connect California families to the education, resources, and community that they need to thrive.

Our goal is to make our movement louder & stronger than Big Telco $$. Stand with us as we call for a ban on digital discrimination in CA! #DigitalEquityNOW#AB2239 https://t.co/PZjsZ8Wolp
🛜Heartfelt thanks to @SenMariaEDurazo for voting YES on #AB2239 to #EndDigitalDiscrimination in the CA Senate Energy, Utilities and Communications & Judiciary Committees!
Your leadership is vital in ensuring all Californians have access to high-speed internet. #DigitalEquity
Thank you, @HenrySternCA, for your vote on #AB2239 in Sen. EUC & JUD! Your support is vital to advancing digital equity and ensuring all communities have access to quality broadband. Digital Equity LA applauds your leadership!
Today marks the 60th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Fighting to end digital discrimination with #AB2239 is a fitting way to honor the organizers and advocates pushing for digital equity! Thank you, @AsmMiaBonta for your leadership!
With the FCC's power curtailed, states must step up. #AB2239 (Bonta) is California's chance to lead in ensuring ALL residents have access to affordable, high-quality internet. The time is NOW to address and recognize digital redlining is real and happening in our communities.
The SCOTUS ruling on Chevron deference impacts the FCC's authority to interpret laws regulating broadband. This limits the FCC’s power to address digital discrimination and ensure equitable internet access. #AB2239
Happening Today: AB2239 (Bonta) heads to the Senate Judiciary Committee! With SCOTUS ruling on Chevron deference, impacting FCC authority, we MUST act NOW to ensure digital equity for all Californians. No more digital discrimination! #AB2239@AsmMiaBonta
Chevron is now overruled. The administrative state just died. The imperial judiciary joins the imperial presidency, relegating Congress to a secondary role except when it legislates with unrealistic specificity and foresight.
History is never a straight line. Progress is always a fight! The fight continues next week to make California the first state to codify and adopt a definition of digital discrimination #AB2239@AsmMiaBonta@CADigitalEquity
