A Call for Digital Equity in Los Angeles: Experiences of a Student Fellow

The Michelson 20MM Student Fellowship empowers students to lead change in higher education. In a 10-month program, fellows learn key advocacy skills, build projects that tackle student-identified challenges, and ultimately launch a student-led campaign. Digital Equity Fellow Francesca Romero authored a survey report that examines the consequences of the discontinuation of the Affordable Connectivity Program, champions the concept of public broadband for all, and urges Los Angeles to take action. Francesca shares more about her project, her experience with the fellowship, and her advice for future fellows.
