The Digital Equity Act of 2019 (S. 1167 / H.R. 4486) would create a federal grant program to measure and close the digital divide by supporting state and local digital inclusion activities, such as providing computer equipment access and training, or broadband affordability programs.

NLC sent this letter to endorse the bill and thank the original cosponsors. Send a tweet now to your members of Congress, asking them to cosponsor the legislation.
