Digital Equity Listening Circle
In October of 2022, City of Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey and County Executive Rich Fitzgerald announced the Pittsburgh Digital Equity Coalition (PDEC), a working group of anchor organizations already working to promote digital equity and smaller community groups with intimate knowledge of the community need.
PDEC has identified four areas of greatest need for digital equity programming and defined equity outcomes for each goal. In their final report, due this summer, PDEC will provide specific recommendations to address each of the four areas.
• High quality, affordable broadband internet services
• Computing devices that meet their needs
• Internet skills, knowledge, and literacy
• Accessible technical support
This Listening Circle is an opportunity for OLLI at Pitt members to share their experiences with technology and identify needs they or other community members may have in the four areas listed above.
