Event: Organizer Roundtable: Bridging the Digital Divide
As the Internet and other information technologies have transformed our lives, we now benefit from greater connectivity to educational, employment and social opportunities in the Twin Cities. Yet low income communities, communities of color, and immigrant communities are often left behind. This exclusion deepens the divide between the haves and the have nots and reinforces the inequities in our region.
Join us for our next Organizer Roundtable where will we take a look at organizations who are working to bridge the digital divide. Come and learn the strategies that they are using to provide access to underserved communities in our region.
Presenters:
Corrine Brunning, E-democracy.org outreach coordinator
Christopher Mitchell, Institute for Local Self-Reliance research associate
James Nicholson, Hennepin County Library software instructor
