“Let’s connect the world, one community at a time.”
The following is a PDF export, with working links, that was exported from our ongoing work using the virtual whiteboarding tool called Miro.
We are training Community leaders to host panel discussions using Zoom with community stakeholders interested in creating Community Owned Internet Networks (COIN). And then we help them create a channel in YouTube to stream those meetings. These shows are a 21st century version of the shows that community members would have watched on public television stations decades ago. This is an arm of our organization, WeCanConnectUS, which is doing training in workforce development for infrastructure construction and maintenance.
We are empowering community leaders with the knowledge, strategies, and inspiration needed to organize and establish these networks. Our mission is to bridge the digital divide by making broadband accessible, affordable, and sustainable for all communities.
