The Goldhirsh Foundation who runs an LA2050 grant program which brings local organizations together to support each other has a panel today on the digital divide that I am participating in. Would love to let more people know about it.
I am checking on accessibility

We will be discussing  the following questions:

  1.  How has your organization’s work been impacted by COVID-19, and especially by the shift to virtual programming and service delivery?
  2.  How have you seen the digital divide impact the communities you serve, and how is your organization working to bridge that gap?
  3.  What gaps in digital access and equity still remain, and what solutions should we be pursuing?
  4.  What are some of the opportunities that you’ve experienced as a result of the shift to digital during COVID-19? (Maybe a silver lining, or an unexpected evolution?)
