With the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, internet access has become even more critical to New Yorkers' lives in finding employment, accessing government services, and connecting with loved ones. Internet access in New York City, however, remains expensive and slow, and barriers to access fall disproportionately along lines of race, age, disability, immigration status, and economic status.

Instead of private Internet monopolies, we need a municipal broadband network in NYC now!
