Celebrating Digital Inclusion Week 2026: Keeping Boston Connected

“Nonprofits, libraries, churches, and other community organizations can’t reach digital equity on their own. For everyone to thrive in today’s digital world, we need all hands on deck,” said Angela Siefer, Executive Director for the National Digital Inclusion Alliance. “NDIA’s Digital Inclusion Trailblazer program exemplifies the key role of local governments in building digital opportunities for all of their residents.”

“There is a reason why folks from other parts of the country and the world look to Boston for guidance across various sectors,” said Peter Favorito, Senior Program Manager. “In these trying times, when digital equity work is more crucial than ever, when having access to the online world, healthcare, and government programs is more crucial than ever, when dispelling misinformation and mistrust is more crucial than ever, Boston must continue to be a beacon of hope.”

"Boston has spent years building digital inclusion programs that work: hundreds of access points delivering free Wicked Wi-Fi, fiber to every library and public school, and thousands of residents trained and connected,” said Brian Donoghue, Chief Digital Equity Officer. “I am proud of what our team and partners have done. Federal support for this work is shrinking, and that makes the next few years challenging. We will keep finding ways to fund it and keep it going, because residents still depend on it."
