Everyone who needs a computer should have one, and no one should be left behind. Device ownership is foundational to digital equity, and yet 36 million people in the United States don't have a computer at home. Tens of millions of additional households don't have enough computers to allow for concurrent use by multiple family members. This deep and persistent technology gap locks those affected out of education, employment, finance, telehealth, and community. It's not right, and it needs an urgent response.Digitunity is leading a national strategy to eliminate the technology gap at scale. A pioneer in the concept of technology reuse, Digitunity leverages used technology to help hundreds of thousands of people in need gain access to education, opportunity, and hope through computer ownership. Our Digital Opportunity Network supports a cadre of over 1600+ digital inclusion practitioners, collaborating in the development of projects and programming designed to strengthen and further our mission to ensure digital equity through ownership of computers, skills development, and connectivity, as well as the ongoing need for technical support.Learn more at www.digitunity.org.
