October 3 – 7, 2022 marks a special week in recognition and
celebration of Digital Inclusion.
Organizations and individuals throughout the nation are hosting
special events and campaigns to promote digital equity in their
communities. This year’s theme is “Turning Our Moment into
Movement,” and California has mobilized through Get
Connected! California. Through October, schools, college
campuses, county offices, and libraries throughout California are
mobilizing to get eligible, low-income households signed up for
affordable broadband access.
The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) is helping millions of
eligible households throughout the nation save hundreds of
dollars on home internet. This federally funded initiative offers
a $30 monthly discount on home internet (up to $75 per month for
households on qualifying tribal lands) and a one-time discount of
up to $100 for a computer or a tablet.
Any household that participates in the free and reduced-price
school lunch program, CalFresh or SNAP, Lifeline, the Pell Grant,
WIC (Women, Infants & Children), Medi-Cal, or Supplemental
Security Income is eligible for the ACP benefit and can enroll
today at: http://internetforallnow.org/applytoday.
In addition, on October 22, 2022, ACP is hosting
in-person enrollment assistance at several locations throughout
the state. For more information, visit: www.internetforallnow.org/events.
