On May 20th, Assemblymember Akilah Weber MD (Dist. 79) hosted an Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) enrollment event targeting our senior population at the Skyline Library.
During the event guest speakers from the San Diego Futures Foundation and the County of San Diego’s Aging & Independent Services Department talked about senior digital literacy, scam prevention, and other available resources.
Assemblywoman Weber kicked off the special event with welcoming remarks and a legislative update.
“As a member of the Communication and Conveyance Committee, I’m tasked with overseeing bills that include broadband access, digital infrastructure, telecommunications and much more,” Dr. Weber shared. “This event is all about bridging the digital divide and expanding secure digital access, especially for our senior population.”
Free laptops from Computers 2 Kids were also raffled off to 10 households.
