Please please please help us spread the word about Chicago Connected. Up to 4 years of high-speed internet at no cost for eligibility families.
Two students sit outside a Taco Bell to use Wi-Fi so they can 'go to school' online.
This is California, home to Silicon Valley...but where the digital divide is as deep as ever.
Where 40% of all Latinos don't have internet access. This generation deserves better.
