Access is only the beginning. True digital equity is built in the spaces between connection and belonging, where trust is cultivated, skills are nurtured, and people are met with the human support needed to fully participate. This is the infrastructure that matters most. Proud to help elevate this important call to restore the Digital Equity Act. Grateful to Colin Rhinesmith for his thoughtful co-authorship and to Tech Policy Press for publishing this timely piece.

They urge policymakers to restore the Digital Equity Act to sustain the ecosystems that digital equity requires. https://lnkd.in/eWbntq-Q
