ACT NOW TO PRESERVE AFFORDABLE INTERNET CONNECTIVITY THROUGH ACP

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) has helped more than 22 million households with a discount on internet service. This program is crucial for connecting low-income communities and alleviating the burden of costs on families struggling to choose between broadband services and other expenses. However, the last full month of ACP will be April 2024 if action is not taken to re-fund the program.

ACT NOW TO PRESERVE AFFORDABLE INTERNET CONNECTIVITY THROUGH ACP

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) has helped more than 22 million households with a discount on internet service. This program is crucial for connecting low-income communities and alleviating the burden of costs on families struggling to choose between broadband services and other expenses. However, the last full month of ACP will be April 2024 if action is not taken to re-fund the program.

What’s at risk? Unless Congress acts NOW to extend funding for the ACP, more than 23 million households will be forced to choose between paying more for their internet each month, or lose affordable access to this important service.

What can you do? Help us secure new ACP funding needed to keep Americans connected by using “the Contact Your Elected Senators and Representative” areas on this screen to automatically send an email asking Congress to fund the ACP.

The Gospel tells us to care for our neighbors and support those in difficult financial circumstances. In our state, I’ve seen how the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) has helped create new opportunities for our underserved families and provided them with an affordable connection to the modern digital world.

I firmly believe that letting the program lapse would be a step backward in spreading the message of care and loving your neighbor into action. The ACP program has helped millions of Americans access telehealth services, job or schooling resources, and stay connected with friends and family at an affordable cost.

More than 23 million American households – many of them located in the rural heartland – will be forced to choose between having to pay more out of pocket for their internet service or risk losing it altogether. As Congress continues to debate and consider funding for the year, I hope you can sound the alarm and ensure ACP stays top of mind.

Thank you for reading this. I urge you to take action now and remain faithful to the people of your district.
