OUR VISION & MISSION
"Internet access is essential for the success of our families in our digital world. We are building homes where residents’ careers and businesses can grow, and their children can learn. Internet connection is an essential catalyst for economic development."

OUR VISION
#OaklandUndivided is an equity-based, collective impact initiative launched in May 2020 to harness the people's power to solve one of society’s most persistent structural inequities—the digital divide.
Our vision is to bridge the digital divide in Oakland for good.
A partnership with the City of Oakland, Oakland Unified School District, Oakland Public Education Fund, TechExchange, and the Oakland Promise—#OaklandUndivided uplifts community voice and champions equity in our digitally redlined communities of West Oakland, Fruitvale, and East Oakland.
OUR MISSION
GOAL #1: CRADLE TO CAREER
STUDENT CONNECTIVITY
#OU seeks to scale and sustain home digital access from cradle to career for Oakland’s 50,000+ public school students.
GOAL #2: COMMUNITY-WIDE
CONNECTIVITY
#OU is committed to community wide connectivity. That means that 90% of Oakland’s 37,000 unconnected households will be connected to high speed, broadband internet by 2027.
