Digital Equity Act

The Digital Equity Act is a U.S. law aimed at ensuring all Americans have equal access to the internet and digital resources. It recognizes that many people face barriers, such as lack of internet service, devices, or digital skills. The Act provides funding for programs that promote digital inclusion, helping communities, especially marginalized groups, to gain the tools and knowledge needed to participate fully in the digital economy. By addressing these disparities, the Act seeks to empower individuals and improve overall societal connectivity and economic opportunity.
