Premises and Principles

Closing the digital divide is not simply a technological initiative—it is a social and economic justice imperative.
Reliable and affordable internet, appropriate devices, and digital skills are now fundamental tools for securing employment, accessing education and healthcare, and engaging in civic life. Without them, individuals are effectively excluded from the systems that enable advancement. Closing the digital divide is not just about connecting people to the internet—it is about connecting them to opportunity, dignity, and full participation in society.
By expanding digital access, communities empower people to make informed choices, pursue economic stability, and act with greater independence and confidence. This access strengthens self-determination and autonomy, enabling individuals and families not only to improve their own circumstances but also to contribute meaningfully to a more inclusive, resilient, and thriving community.

We convene a statewide coalition of stakeholders to promote digital opportunity and educate federal and state policymakers to better advance our causes.
We commit to building inclusive digital infrastructure, expanding digital literacy, empowering underserved populations with community-based solutions, and promoting broadband infrastructure, planning, and adoption strategies at all levels of government.
We promote existing digital opportunity programs and advocate for additional programs to better sustain and expand the work of digital opportunity practitioners across Pennsylvania.
