It’s a digital age, but not everyone is connected. Data from MNDeed reveals that while 90% of residents in the metro Twin Cities area enjoy access to high-speed internet, nearly 150,000 Minnesotans are left in the digital dark, with communities of color being the most affected. https://minnesotareformer.com/2020/03/31/more-than-150000-minnesota-households-dont-have-broadband-access/
This alarming revelation, backed by the Sahan Journal’s digital redlining investigation, underscores the urgent need for inclusive connectivity.
In response to this pressing issue, we are bringing the Black Broadband Summit back to North Minneapolis. Slated for November 13th, from 10 AM to 3 PM, this community-centric event is a groundbreaking initiative to eradicate digital disparity.
