  • The first opportunity is on May 13th., ‘National Digital Inclusion Day’ (NDID) The purpose of NDID is to get everyone talking, thinking, and learning about digital equity and inclusion.

  • The second opportunity is ‘Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), held on May 19th. GAAD aims to get everyone talking, thinking, and learning about digital access and inclusion and the more than One Billion people with disabilities/impairments.

Jessica Rosenworcel, FCC Commissioner, says, ”To have a fair shot at 21st-century success, you need access to modern communications and the internet.”
