PRESS RELEASE

"#OaklandUndivided started as an initiative distributing hotspots and computers, and has evolved into an organization addressing structural barriers to accessing broadband. More importantly, #OakandUndivided does everything with community as its central and core value. I am proud to be a part of this coalition in which we all collectively seek to uplift communities most impacted and least connected."
