Congress, Call a Vote on the Affordable Connectivity Program Extension Act

Speaker Johnson, it is time to call a vote. In less than four weeks, over 23 million U.S. households will see spikes in their internet bills, increases that could leave many choosing between internet access and groceries, paying their rent, or picking up their prescriptions. The Affordable Connectivity Program Extension Act of 2024 (HR 6929) would extend the ACP, providing funding to keep the program running through 2024.  A clear majority of the House of Representatives has already indicated that they support HR 6929—in addition to lead sponsor Rep. Yvette Clarke of New York, the bill has 230 co-sponsors including 24 Republicans. But HR 6929 has languished in the House since January 10. Let the Members vote, Speaker Johnson.
