The Affordable Connectivity Program is Popular because it Works

Time’s almost up for Congress to extend funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). Without the funding, 23+ million households risk losing internet access. This federally funded program has made a huge difference in people’s lives, but its future remains uncertain. As many of you prepare for what’s next, we’re making one last push to remind Congress of what’s at stake. Here is a small selection of the hundreds of opinion pieces that have been written demonstrating the positive impact ACP has had on so many lives across the country. They also reflect the broad and bipartisan support ACP has across the board. For a full list of the press and blogs about the need to fund ACP visit New America’s Open Technology Institute website for more. If you see an article from this list highlighting an ACP beneficiary in your community or state, we encourage you to share it with your elected officials, reminding them of the impact, and wide-spread support for the program.
