CWA, Microsoft Partner to Promote ACP

The Communications Workers of America partnered with Microsoft at a "community Labor Day festival in Atlanta" and other cities to boost enrollment in the FCC's affordable connectivity program, the union said Thursday. CWA and Microsoft will "work with local public housing authorities and other community partners" to promote ACP and pre-qualify households. The union said providers offering no-cost broadband plans to ACP enrollees will also be on site. “CWA members have a longstanding commitment to making sure that every household in America has reliable high-speed internet service," said President Chris Shelton. Microsoft President Brad Smith said the company is "glad to be working with CWA to bring more broadband access to more Americans" through ACP.
