John,

Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s Broadband Justice Act would expand Internet access to 8 million households. Access to the Internet is an essential part of our lives in the 21st century. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us that to an even greater extent.

Many people in every part of the country, in every type of place — rural, suburban, and urban — have struggled to do things virtually just because the cost of Internet was too much. While corporate PACs are donating to lawmakers and cable companies get massive tax breaks, regular people are left with bigger and bigger bills for the essentials they need to keep going. These days, the majority of us need the Internet to attend school, see family members, and do our jobs. Cost shouldn’t be a barrier to getting online.

Can you join Rep. Bowman and Justice Democrats by signing on as a citizen co-sponsor to the Broadband Justice Act?

In a country with so many injustices and intersecting crises, barriers to Internet access can sometimes wind up not getting enough media coverage. We’re all fighting for Medicare for All, racial justice, housing justice, a Green New Deal, strong labor protections, canceling student loan debt, and so much more. We must take on each piece of inequality in this country in order to achieve justice — that includes broadband justice.

John, can you add your name to Jamaal’s petition to pass the Broadband Justice Act and help everyone get access to the internet? We’re fighting for a better world together.

In solidarity,

Justice Democrats
