Hi NCL colleagues, I know many of you are planning to respond to the Commerce Department's Request for Comment on the Digital Equity Act (due Feb 4). I have drafted a set of template comments that adult educators are welcome to copy/borrow from -- feel free to e-mail me off-list if you'd like to see them. Thanks to Deborah, Judy, Sharon, and everyone else who is working to get the word out to the field about this! I'm very hopeful that we can impress Commerce with a strong showing from adult ed that will push them to really include us at the table from the get-go. -Amanda -- *Amanda Bergson-Shilcock*, Senior Fellow *National Skills Coalition* Pronouns: she/her/hers 1250 Connecticut Avenue NW, Suite 200, Washington DC 20036 215-285-2860 (mobile) *www.nationalskillscoalition.org <http://www.nationalskillscoalition.org>* *Register now for the 2022 Skills Summit!* <https://www.nationalskillssummit.com/>
