WASHINGTON — On Monday, the Rural & Agriculture Council of America (RACA) and three other organizations sent a letter to Congressional leadership urging renewal of the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). The program helps ensure that eligible households can afford the broadband they need for work, school, healthcare and more.
“All Americans, whether in rural or urban areas, should be able to benefit from the ever-expanding online world we find ourselves in today,” the letter states.
“We use broadband for nearly everything in our lives – from accessing a bank account and submitting homework assignments to filing taxes and remaining active in our faith community. The ACP equips millions of families in communities across America with affordable access to the resources of the online world each month.”
Other signors on the letter include the National Grange, RuralRISE Tech, and the U.S. Cattlemen’s Association.
