The California Department of Technology is creating our state’s Digital Equity Plan and we need your help to create a plan that gives all Californians the digital access they need. Since the digital divide looks different for every Californian, we need to hear from individuals and groups throughout the state regarding how we can remove the barriers for those who cannot access affordable, reliable internet or devices.

Our May 2023 Outcome Area Working Group focused on:
• Unique digital equity barriers facing you or your community
• What are solutions that could work for your community to close the digital divide?
• How to get involved in forming a digital equity plan that provides real solutions for your community

Catch up on what was shared and join us in creating a state where everyone has access to affordable, reliable internet, devices, and digital training to thrive in the twenty-first century.
