Franca Muller Paz: Students kicked off internet 8 or 9 times a day, can't get their cameras to work, struggle to stay connected. "That's what education looks like right now" #InternetIsEssential #Internet4All

Literally the most (first-world) needed thing ever. Internet allows Canadians to enjoy their charter rights and human rights. 💻🙏🤳🧠💭#paylesstoconnect #InternetIsEssential #internetshouldbefree

Right now the @cityoftoronto is meeting to discuss building their own affordable broadband internet network. They know people can't afford to continue to pay high internet rates. They know people need to #PayLessToConnect

For our communities, access to the Internet can be life or death—yet millions can't afford it. We need it to get an education, to see a doctor, and to keep in touch with loved ones. We all deserve the #Right2Connect because #InternetIsEssential.

JUNE 2018: #NetNeutrality repeal takes effect. AUG 2018: Verizon throttles firefighters’ data during CA wildfires. NOW: #COVID19 is here and still no #TitleII Net Neutrality. Tell @FCC to stop putting public safety at risk! https://t.co/ozX9cQ7tUM

Amid a global pandemic, Comcast customers just received notice that their internet bills are about to go up. The FCC could have stepped in, but the commission repealed its #TitleII authority over ISPs back in 2017. 🤦 #InternetIsEssential #NoShutoffs https://t.co/aCIJhk16gF

In May, Philly’s school district begged @comcast to open their resident hotspots so students could get online. Comcast refused. This fall, schools will be virtual at least until November. Tell Comcast to help get kids online. #InternetIsEssential https://t.co/VvK9Kfr6aG

Franca Muller Paz, Baltimore Teachers' Union: Comcast isn't pursuing authentic partnerships with public schools, it's preying on Black and brown communities in the pursuit of profits. #internetisessential

Black, Brown, and Immigrant communities in Chicago don't have internet, and that's a problem. Phone bank with us to lobby the FCC to address it. https://t.co/cZbFjOnaeH #urbandigitaldivide #internetisessential #connectallkids #chicago

Over 20,000 Philly students were unable to attend school after classes moved online because they did not have internet access. Comcast MUST open up residential hotspots and get those kids online this fall. #InternetIsEssential

Kimberly Vasquez: I'm a subscriber to @comcast's Internet Essentials program, 25mbps. They say that 3-4 people can use at a time, but Vasquez says: I've been kicked offline dozens of times. I'm joining THIS call through my phone which is more reliable. #internetisessential

When we come together to demand #InternetIsEssential, there’s nothing we can’t do. Shout out to @mvmalliance & our other amazing #MediaJusticeNetwork members for putting pressure on @comcast until they doubled internet speeds for communities living on low incomes 🎉

If Comcast truly understands that #InternetIsEssential they must act now to get all students and families online. That’s why we’ve joined @mvmalliance, @mediajustice, @SOMOSCityKnight and @ColorOfChange to demand that Comcast step up. Learn more:

AB 353 would guarantee a high speed $15/month broadband plan for low-income Californians. It’s time CA advances a long-term affordability solution! #PassAB353 #InternetIsEssential @AsmEGarcia @AsmBlancaRubio @PatrickForAD26
