The Digital Equity page of CT.gov on July 3, 2025.

As more and more of our daily life moves online, digital access has become essential.

But not everyone has the skills, or the tools, needed to keep up in a digital age.

The Digital Equity Act was designed to help close the gap. But recent funding cuts by President Trump have stalled that progress.

This hour, we explore how those cuts are affecting communities in ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø and beyond. We’ll hear how local institutions – like libraries – are working to keep people connected despite the challenges.

GUESTS:

  • : Economic Development Reporter, CT Mirror
  • Bonnie Solberg: Director of Public Services,
  • Bridget Quinn: President and Chief Executive Officer,
  • : director of the Literacy Education and Reading Education programs and an assistant professor, Boston University
