Long Beach, CA ~ The National Digital Inclusion Alliance (NDIA) has declared October 2-6, 2023 as National Digital Inclusion Week (DIW), and the City of Long Beach is joining in the celebration. DIW is an annual week of awareness, recognition and celebration where digital inclusion advocates across the country promote their digital equity and inclusion efforts.
Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson said, "In Long Beach, we are building connected communities so that everyone has access to technology resources that will help them thrive. We are advancing digital equity to ensure our residents can fully participate in programs and services we have to offer."
To celebrate DIW, the City of Long Beach will be offering resources and information on its social media channels promoting digital equity and inclusion in Long Beach. Residents are encouraged to visit the social media pages of the Department of Economic Development @LBEconDev and the City's primary social media pages @LongBeachCity to learn more about the City's free and low-cost digital inclusion resources and services. The City will also highlight various Long Beach Recovery Act (LB Recovery Act) digital inclusion community partners by sharing information regarding their programs and services they delivered in the past year. Residents can join the conversation online by using hashtags such as #DIW2023, #LBdigitalinclusion, #digitalequityNOW, #LBrecovers, and #BuildingConnectedCommunities.
