Advocating for equitable, affordable access to the connected world.
Founding Members
California Alliance for Digital Equity (CADE)
Access to a facility with the internet is a requirement to engage in today's world. Work activities, school classes, job applications, and medical appointments all demand reliable high-speed internet. Every Californian deserves access to fast, reliable, and affordable internet, and to have the opportunity to learn how to effectively navigate the digital world. We believe a fast connection without bandwidth or data limitations, coupled with technical support, is a civil right—not a luxury.
About Us
The California Alliance for Digital Equity is a dedicated group of local and statewide advocates focused on all forms of digital equity, from device acquisition to broadband access to digital literacy.
California policies, programs, and taxpayer dollars must prioritize closing the digital divide. This means putting communities first and empowering them to tackle barriers to broadband access.
