Digital inequity continues to perpetuate intergenerational poverty among poor communities of color by disenfranchising them, limiting their access to health care and education, and stifling economic opportunity and growth. Black and Latino students are 30% to 40% more likely to have limited access to the internet, while 68% of Americans living on rural tribal lands don’t have access to broadband.

Join the Michelson 20MM Foundation and our co-hosts the California Community Foundation, Silicon Valley Community Foundation and Southern California Grantmakers for, “Race and Digital Inequity: The Impact on Poor Communities of Color.”
