NDIA launches new, dedicated website for the Digital Equity Act of 2019

The National Digital Inclusion Alliance is launching a new, dedicated website for the Digital Equity Act of 2019. The new site features:

• Links to the bill’s Congress.Gov page, which has the full text, an updated list of sponsors, committee status and other information.
• Links to a basic Digital Equity Act fact sheet, a Social Media Kit, Instagram stories and other useful stuff for helping educate the public and build support.
• A form for organizations (not individuals) to add their names to the growing list of Digital Equity Act supporters.
• A look-it-up table providing key “Digital Equity Gap” statistics for each Congressional District and each state, created by NDIA with data from the US Census’ American Community Survey.

The Digital Equity Act had its formal Senate introduction on April 11. The House version of the Digital Equity Act of 2019 is expected to be introduced as early as the week of May 6.
