The Affordable Connectivity Program helps every American participate in our democracy

Our phones, tablets, and laptops are our gateways to democracy, and internet access allows us to fully participate. From checking your voter registration status online to finding the nearest polling location, internet access is crucial to actively participating in democracy.

**Important ACP Enrollment Update** The last day to enroll for the ACP benefit was February 7th 2024.

Contact acpinfo@fcc.gov for more information on the program wind down.

What does the ACP do?

Provides families with discounted or free internet access. $30 a month toward monthly Internet Bill ($75 Tribal Lands) and $100 towards a device. You can learn more at getinternet.gov.

The Problem: If funding is not passed through congress, the ACP is set to run out of funding by April/May 2024. Millions of homes will be kicked off their internet benefits right before the 2024 elections.

How You Can Help: Contact your legislator and demand that they pass the ACP Extension Act, a bipartisan bill to provide $7billion to extend the program through the rest of the year! As a community member, you are a trusted messenger. Spread the word about the ACP running out of funding by posting information leading actions in your community. Use our tools linked at the bottom of this page to take action to save the ACP!
