Redirect BEAD Program funds to support South LA's broadband needs


Redirect BEAD Program funds to support South LA's broadband needs
The Issue
Families in Old Vermont Square and South LA shouldn't have to sit outside fast-food restaurants just to get Wi-Fi. Lack of internet access blocks students from finishing schoolwork, job seekers from finding work, and seniors from accessing healthcare.
The BEAD Program was created to fix this, but funding keeps bypassing the communities that need it most. We demand policymakers redirect these funds to truly disconnected areas like ours.
Reliable internet isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Sign this petition to bring broadband equity to Old Vermont Square and South LA.
