On October 30th volunteers from CWA Locals 1104 and 1109 teamed up with Microsoft, Verizon, the New York Housing Authority Tennent's
Association, to host a huge event for free internet at Howard Houses in Brooklyn, NY. The event was part of CWA's national "Get Connected"
initiative to boost enrollment in the Affordable Connectivity Program
(ACP). Roughly one third of New Yorkers lack regular internet access,
and CWAers have been working hard through legislative and volunteer
initiatives to close this connectivity gap.
