Do you think our rural communities deserve broadband?

 



Let me tell you about the digital divide.

Right now, our most rural and marginalized communities across our district are not connected to our dynamic economy. Why? Because students, families, and small businesses don’t have access to reliable or affordable internet.

When the pandemic forced us in and shut down schools, we saw our communities pushed to the brink. Without broadband access, students in central PA do not have the same opportunities as students in Philly.

But it doesn’t stop there. Small businesses without broadband access can’t reach customers or sell their goods. Making sure every home and business is connected to the globe is the strongest way we can keep our businesses competitive and keep Main Street vibrant.

Scott Perry simply doesn’t feel the same way I do, and his no vote on the bipartisan infrastructure bill makes that very clear.

When given the opportunity for our communities to have the broadband access they need to stay connected to the world, expand small business dreams, or keep our students competitive, Perry’s NO vote showed how little he thinks of us and the things we care about. In our digital world, broadband is a lifeline for our communities, and Scott Perry wants to sever it.

But this is bigger than me or Scott Perry. I want to hear directly from you, Antonio: do you support expanding internet access and helping our communities thrive? If you do, add your name to our latest petition here!

Thank you,

-- Eugene
