The coronavirus pandemic has revealed the depths of the digital divide in this country. It’s time for lawmakers to step up and provide broadband to all families.

America’s students cannot wait any longer. For months, too many kids have been without the laptops, tablets, and Wi-Fi they need to learn from home. This is particularly harmful for our most vulnerable children, including students of color, those from low-income families, English learners, and children with special needs. The president and Congress have a responsibility to help fix this. If they fail to act, students will suffer—and those who were already struggling are likely to fall even further behind.
