Support High Quality Broadband Internet and Good Jobs

State Officials

The federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act’s Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Program provides a once in a generation opportunity to ensure that everyone has access to high-quality broadband internet connections. The federal law contains strong guidelines for building broadband, but gives states options on how to implement the buildout.

Sign our petition to ask state officials to create broadband buildout plans that ensure that these funds go towards lasting infrastructure and creating good jobs.

I support the inclusion of front line telecom workers in the development of our state’s BEAD broadband funding action plan. This plan should ensure that federal funds go towards lasting infrastructure and good jobs. That means prioritizing projects that use reliable, future-proof fiber optic technology, and ensuring that the work be done by well-trained, directly employed workers who receive quality wages and benefits.
