Tell Congress: Renew ACP and Keep Families Connected

The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) currently helps nearly 23 million households access high speed broadband, providing $30 per month to qualifying families for affordable internet access. This means more families online, and more jobs for CWA members.

But funding is running out. Unless Congress acts NOW to renew ACP, the program will end by April 2024.

Losing ACP would hurt CWA’s efforts to create new jobs. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is funding millions of dollars of broadband infrastructure, and CWA has advocated for those funds to create good jobs for CWA members. Losing ACP would put this program at risk by making it less appealing for ISPs to take public funds and build new networks in rural areas.

We all know that the internet today is a necessity and this crucial benefit helps working families stay connected to school, telehealth, and jobs. Within weeks, families will start to receive notices that they will lose access to ACP unless Congress acts NOW to pass legislation introduced in Congress by both Republicans and Democrats to keep the program funded.

Tell Congress to support the bipartisan ACP Extension Act, support good jobs, and keep families connected!
