The Universal Service Fund WAS a bipartisan program – and it’s been going strong for decades. Now extreme right-wing judges are pulling the plug on the MILLIONS of families who rely on it for phone & internet service. This is today’s GOP: fighting for higher bills and chaos.

Allowing school buses to be outfitted with WiFi will give students more opportunities to succeed because it gives those without internet access at home more time to do their homework. @NEAToday fully supports the @FCC proposal to make school buses eligible for the E-Rate program.

This is work that impacts our most important learners- students. #titleIIa #LearnFwd22
Our students deserve schools filled with outstanding support for teachers and principals – now more than ever. We urge Congress to finish FY 2023 appropriations during this Congress and increase funding for #TitleIIA. #LearnFwd22

#TitleIIA remains a historically underfunded program, not once reaching its fully authorized funding level in the past decade – let’s not make that mistake in FY 2023. Congress: we ask for an increase of this program of at least $100 million. Here at #LearnFwd22 we’re all in!
