The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), initiated by President Biden, has provided significant savings on internet bills for over 23 million American households, reducing costs by $30 to $75 per month. However, the program is set to expire due to the refusal of House Republicans to pass funding for its extension. This expiration will result in increased internet costs for millions of families, including those in NYC, VA03, and LA02, negatively impacting their access to essential services such as healthcare, education, and small business operations. Democrats are urging the House GOP to collaborate in extending the ACP to prevent these adverse effects and continue to bridge the digital divide.
