The Emergency Broadband Benefit Day of Action

Non-profit organizations, anchor institutions, and local and state governments will join forces on May 14th to build awareness about the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program. Our collective goal is to ensure that every household that is eligible for the program learns about the program and how to enroll. There are various ways for your community to promote the EBB, including becoming an FCC community partner.

• Build awareness on social media.
• Include a post in your city council newsletter or town hall meeting agenda.
• Circulate a fact sheet on how the EBB could positively impact your community.
• Post flyers in community centers, libraries, and grocery stores. Collaborate with government agencies that provide services for low-income populations.
• Partner with community organizers or faith groups to spread the word.

A webinar at 1:00 pm (eastern) will address outreach strategies

Community leaders and trusted messengers will share best practices to support outreach and enrollment, because not knowing about a program, uncertainty about eligibility, and general distrust can sabotage enrollment and overall program success.
