Free Internet Petition

Free, High-Speed Internet for All Public School Students and Educators

Dear Legislators, I am writing today to ask you to fund free, high-speed internet for all public school students and educators. COVID-19 has shown us how critical it is to close the digital divide. I am asking you to direct CARES Act funds as well as reserve funding to this emergency situation. Many districts have started instruction online and will continue to do so until it is safe to go back into school buildings. We cannot let educational inequities and disparities grow even wider. I am asking you to allow towns and cities to offer internet access as a public utility to keep it free or low-cost to everyone, especially those who cannot afford it. Like water and electricity, internet access is not a luxury. Join parents, educators, students, rural communities, and low-income families in the call to make high-speed internet accessible for all North Carolinians. Thank you for your consideration.
