I sincerely do hope that we've learned from the past but unlike Mark Jamison's op-ed in the Hill, my lesson is that the previous business model failed us. The #InternetIsEssential and we need a new approach that prioritizes connecting people vs making money.

Over 20,000 Philly students missed out on critical school days after classes moved online because they lacked reliable internet access. We need Comcast to step up and open residential hotspots to get our young people ready to learn! #InternetIsEssential

Remember #ParkingLotWifi, when students were told to sit outside to access public wifi? With 3+ days/week of online learning this fall, #ParkingLotWifi will be the norm for many Philly students unless @Comcast gets them online NOW. #InternetIsEssential

When @FCC scrapped #NetNeutrality and Title II, it gave big ISPs like @ATT @comcast @Verizon free rein to tamper w/ the communications networks we need. This is unacceptable. Demand that the FCC protect our access to lifesaving communications services: https://t.co/ozX9cPPSwc

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

Shirt preorder ends TODAY! 100% proceeds to @215studentunion, who are bringing the fight to the scumbags at Comcast. Digital learning can only happen with fast, quality free internet and THOUSANDS of Philly students don't have access. #InternetIsEssential
