Big news Faith:
So far more than 23 million households (including over 700,000 in PA) have received internet access through the Affordable Connectivity Program, which helps folks who otherwise couldn't afford it get connected.
But it was a temporary program, and it expired a few days ago.
It's simple: when a program works, we need to keep it. So I just introduced legislation to make it permanent. 🛜
Broadband internet is no longer a luxury. It's a necessity — for completing school work, applying to jobs, paying bills, communicating with relatives, and everything else.
But the reality is many families simply cannot afford it, and the ACP has helped close that gap.
My new legislation — the Promoting Affordable Connectivity Act — would guarantee that it remains fully funded without partisan politics getting in the way.
I ran for the Senate to fight for forgotten communities and tangibly improve working people's lives, and this bill is one more way to do just that.
But we're going to need to push hard to get it passed. That's why I'm asking you to sign on to my petition now and call on Congress to make sure everyone has access to affordable broadband internet.
Thanks,
❤️ John
