Broadband Equity for All Applauds Signing of Broadband Infrastructure Bill


Washington, D.C., — Broadband Equity for All, a group of more than 40 leading civil rights groups, consumer groups and private sector leaders, today released the following statement upon the signing of the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.


We commend President Biden and both houses of Congress for their bipartisan efforts to connect every individual to high-speed internet and close the digital divide. This bill provides a predictable, dependable, long-term broadband benefit program that will ensure that people from every community can get connected and help guarantee the educational benefits, health care access and economic prosperity that come with the ability to get online.


With passage of this bipartisan legislation, more low-income households will be able to afford high-speed broadband and experience all of the possibilities and opportunities it provides.
