The Affordable Connectivity Program has been critical in providing people across NC with affordable high-speed internet. Gov. Cooper has urged Congress to reauthorize it, and we encourage North Carolinians to do the same by contacting their Congressional representatives.
Happy 60th Birthday @pat_millen of @E2DInc ! We celebrate you & thank you for your commitment to closing the digital divide! 🎉 #digitalequity
Of course, we couldn't let this special day close without a word of gratitude for our fearless leader on his BIGGGG 60th Birthday!
Cheers to another 60 years of love, happiness, and good health for you - Oh, and ending the digital divide in NC and beyond!

Internet access isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity.
As of March '23, the Affordable Connectivity Program has enrolled over 16 million households for ~$500 million in savings.
Tell Congress to reauthorize funding for the ACP and expand internet access: coc.is/broadbandaccess
