Electronic Frontier Foundation article by: Hayley Tsukayama

More than fifty California organizations, businesses, and public officials—including the AARP of California, the San Francisco Tech Council, the California Center for Rural Policy, the Khan Academy, and a number of California cities and counties—join Common Sense Kids Action and EFF in urging Governor Gavin Newsom to call the legislature back into a special session to address the state’s digital divide.

Canal Alliance among fifty other organizations have already joined the call, and we hope Governor Newsom will listen.
