Katie Hearn, Detroit Community Technology Project: The digital divide isn't an accident. Rather, it's the inevitable outcome of deliberate disinvestment in Black and brown communities by tech monopolies. #internetisessential

Angela Cobian (cont'd): We are no longer in an era where internet access is a luxury for our students and their families, it must be understood as a fundamental right. #internetisessential

Ciara Hart, South Louisiana Coalition for Education: We discovered 25% of Louisiana families don't have quality internet. Poor households have dismal internet. Here to bear witness that all areas are impacted and vulnerable kids lack what they need to live a full equitable life.

.@comcast threatened to cut off 1000s of Baltimore families unless the district paid an almost $700k bill. @comcast claimed their discount service was high speed, but these students testify: they have to tether to their phones or get kicked off class daily #internetisessential

📢TODAY! Comcast has failed our communities, so we’re taking them to school to learn exactly why the #InternetIsEssential. Head to our FB page at 4 ET to learn how we’re fighting together across the country for #Internet4All: facebook.com/MediaJustice/

The problem with stories like these is that the blame and the solutions are both wrong.
We should be outraged that millions of people can't afford to pay the high prices that Comcast charges in Salinas, CA.

For folks who may be new to the fight to #BanFacialRecognition, there is no level of regulation that will make this tech safe for Black people. This should not be in the hands of police and routinely misidentifies Black women & gender non-conforming folks.

From our very own Senior Fellow @culturejedi "Black communities need a comprehensive anti-racist public health response to this growing pandemic. Instead, some U.S. states are investing in apps to contain the virus.”

Facial recognition poses a uniquely sinister threat to Black communities. It's why we fight to ban its use & demand the companies producing it do more than "pause" production. The racist surveillance state will never pause, nor will our fight to end it: mediajustice.org/news/senato…

Robert Williams wrongly arrested in front of family due to a false facial recognition match; 30hrs detained. As a black man accosted by police the outcome could have been fatal & still the consequences of face misidentification are indelible& irreversible nytimes.com/2020/06/24/techn…
