SUMMARY:Digital Equity Planning in NH with the National Collaborative for Digital Equity.
DESCRIPTION:There are efforts in motion to improve Digital Equality in New Hampshire and we need to be sure the right people are at the table! Join us to learn about the grants and how we can affect the work to make sure it is what it needs to be in NH. Join us to learn about what is happening and what will happen in NH and how to influence the outcome. \nWEDNESDAY\, JUNE 14\, 2023 AT 9 AM – 11 AM\, VIA ZOOM \nThe National Collaborative for Digital Equity’s (NCDE) aim is to support sustained efforts to eliminate the digital divide as a barrier to economic and educational opportunity. As a federally tax-exempt nonprofit\, NCDE provides free dissemination and policy education as well as comprehensive\, fee-based consulting services\, in support of digital equity for economic and educational inclusion. \nTheir commitment is to “field building” — generating a sustained national infrastructure to support evidence-based practices in eliminating the digital divide as the crushing barrier it presents to the nation’s low- and moderate-income earners and communities. \nThe Department of Commerce’s use of Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal Funding to help Close the digital divide specifically\, $2.75 billion to fund Digital Equity. We know that digital exclusion carries a high societal and economic cost; reduces economic opportunity\, educational achievement\, positive health outcomes\, social inclusion\, and civic engagement; and exacerbates existing wealth and income gaps. The Digital Equity Act\, which was included as a part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal provides NTIA with funding for three grant programs to promote digital inclusion and equity for communities that lack the skills\, technologies and support needed to take advantage of broadband connections. NTIA will provide states with digital equity planning grants. NTIA will also implement a formula-based state grant program and a competitive grant program with funds available to accelerate the adoption of broadband through digital literacy training\, workforce development\, devices access programs\, and other digital inclusion measures. \nQuestions: WelcomingNH@miracoalition.org \nRegister here: https://bit.ly/DigitalEquityPlanning
