Rosenworcel Letter of Endorsement to President Biden

As the COVID-19 health crisis continues to expose the depth of our country’s digital divide and the essential role that broadband access plays in sustaining critical aspects of our everyday lives-- it has also revealed how the continued lack of broadband and digital skills education have resulted in higher rates of poverty, underemployment, and limited vaccine distribution for multicultural communities nationwide.

We applaud the Biden administration's ambitious efforts to expand digital opportunity to every home and are committed to working collaboratively to promote an inclusive digital economy that makes equity and choice a defining feature of American innovation. It is in that spirit that we urge you to nominate Jessica Rosenworcel as permanent chair.
