<p>Free Press has created an amazing new video with exclusive footage that we hope you'll share with your members. As the president and Congress decide how to invest in high-speed Internet buildout, millions of Americans still struggle on the wrong side of the digital divide.<br>
<br>Last week, we spoke to children in Washington, D.C., who have a message for President Obama: <b>"We need Internet access."<br></b><br><b>Help their message get heard by embedding and linking to this video on your site, and forwarding it to your members and allies.</b> <br>
<br>As I've mentioned in previous calls, we're documenting the digital divide across the country, and this D.C. video is part of a series on this story. I'll keep you all posted as we roll them out, and as we work on InternetforEveryone.org together. </p>
<p>Thanks for all that you do.</p>
<p>Best, </p>
