End the Digital Divide

End the Digital Divide
Why this petition matters
The Digital Divide is the separation between people who have access to technology and the people who don't. Technology creates so many opportunities, and I feel that everyone should be able to experience these opportunities. The goal of this petition is to create a government assistance program that will provide internet access and computers to low-income families. This way everyone will have the chance to experience these opportunities. Everyone deserves a chance at a brighter future, and I want to help provide that. I have been in this situation where I didn't have access to a computer to do my homework, or to work on projects, and it's not a good feeling at all. I know what it feels like to have an opportunity knock on your door and something as simple as internet access and a computer prevent you from taking that opportunity. All I ask is that you help me create less situations like the one I just described. No one should be denied a fair shot at life when there is a solution that can be created to solve the problem that is being faced.
