The Equitable Internet Initiative supports and develops historically marginalized residents to build and maintain neighborhood-governed internet infrastructure that fosters accessibility, consent, safety, and resilience. We address Internet access in Detroit through neighborhood-governed community wireless networks. Since 2015, Detroit has been one of the country’s worst connected cities. In a city with a median household income of $26,249, 38% of homes have no Internet connection, 63% of low income homes have no in-home broadband, and 70% of school-age children have no Internet access at home. The goals of this initiative are to: 1) Increase Internet access in underserved neighborhoods 2) Increase Internet adoption through digital literacy programming 3) Train and develop residents as Digital Stewards 4) Strengthen neighborhoods through community organizing, participation, collaboration, and resiliency.
