"A free laptop means more than just access to technology; it means opportunity." – Morgana, Milwaukee event participant

We're grateful to all the folks who showed up at our Large Scale Device Distribution in Milwaukee this weekend, and to HOPE Network for Single Mothers and Wisconsin Women's Business Initiative Corporation (WWBIC) for the partnership opportunity to distribute laptops to the community!

In one day, we distributed 100 laptops to single mothers and aspiring small business owners. It means everything to connect people with laptops - for some, their first-ever computer - to help them go back to school, build a business, and support their kids.

Huge thanks to TMJ4 and Makaylah Chavez for covering this extraordinary event. Check out the news coverage below.

Congratulations to the latest graduating cohort from our Bridges to Tech class in Minneapolis, supported by Best Buy! Eight high school students just completed a year-long training in multimedia digital skills to carve a path to successful careers in tech. 🎓✨

These students worked closely with our multimedia skills instructor to shape their own curriculums, applying their digital skills to produce powerful PSAs about community issues that are important to them. During the final celebration, they shared their PSAs and received point-and-shoot cameras—the technology they chose to continue their creative journeys. 📸🙌

We’re deeply proud of these rising young leaders, and can’t wait to see how they continue using digital media to spark change. 💫

A huge thank you to Hope Community Center staff for being a wonderful community partner in helping youth succeed, and to Best Buy for funding our impact and investing in the next generation of tech-forward creators!

Last week, Senator Ben Ray Luján and Representative Doris Matsui introduced the Digital Opportunity Foundation Act to expand digital access, inclusion, and literacy nationwide.

One year after the Digital Equity Act’s $2.75 billion in federal funding was cut, this action highlights the daily reality for the 33.5 million people in the U.S. who still live without home internet.

Reliable internet, devices, and digital skills are the backbone of modern life and the 🔑 to full digital adoption. This is the work of Everyone On - we connect communities to digital access and AI.

We are inspired by the community leaders and policymakers who continue to push for digital opportunity for all people!

While billions of corporate dollars pour into AI innovation, millions of Americans are being left behind.

Right now, more than 16 million people in the U.S. don’t have access to a computer, preventing AI adoption and digital literacy, especially in underserved communities.

Without basic devices or internet skills, students can’t use digital tools to keep up with schoolwork, job seekers can’t navigate online portals to find work, and small business owners can’t compete in an AI-driven world.

Technology should equip everyone, not just a few. Use the toolkit below to contact your representative and urge Congress to reinstate the Digital Equity Act.

For Tekeela, digital literacy means more financial responsibility and freedom. Her story is powerful, but it shouldn’t be rare.

Right now, 32 million U.S. adults are locked out of the tools needed to save and invest for the future. Our economy thrives when everyone can participate. But, cutting $2.75 billion from the Digital Equity Act leaves millions of people behind.

We’re calling on Congress to reinstate this critical funding.

From May 8 to June 8, 2026, Everyone On is mobilizing for the Digital Equity Act Month of Action.

Digital access—or the lack of it—impacts all of us. Without a reliable connection, the right devices, or the skills to use them, essential tasks like online banking, telehealth appointments, and schoolwork are nearly impossible.

Across the country, local organizations and corporate allies are taking the lead to ensure everyone has access to broadband, literacy training, and AI skills. Everyone On is proud to partner with these diverse groups to expand digital inclusion to underserved communities and help families navigate daily life with digital access.

Now, we need your voice. 📣

Join the movement to save this Act by using the toolkit below to tell your representative that digital inclusion matters.
