Digital Inclusion Week 2021 Was a Huge Success

Our sixth Digital Inclusion Week on October 4-8 was a huge success! And it wouldn’t have happened without all of you. Together, we had a hugely successful week-long campaign for digital inclusion. We tweeted, posted, hosted, spoke out, called for action, and raised awareness of the urgent need for digital equity.

“Our 600 affiliates came together to shine light on the digital divide, and we have reached more people than ever before,” said Angela Siefer, NDIA executive director. “We are no longer convincing people that this is an important issue. We are taking action. And it’s a beautiful thing to see in communities across the country.”

HUGE thanks to everyone across the country who participated in any way, and we hope the week lifted up some energy behind your work and in your communities!
