The digital divide has never been a more critical issue than it is now. The COVID-19 pandemic and the need to rely on technology to remain connected while social distancing, has shined a bright spotlight on continued inequities related to digital access in the U.S. For older adults with high-speed internet access, technology solutions ranging from telehealth to food delivery have provided much-needed services this past year. Hear from Federal Communications Commission Acting Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel as she thanks NCOA for its efforts in creating digital equity for older Americans and provides details on the Emergency Broadband Benefit.
Thank you all for participating and ensuring that every older adult can age well. #AgeAction

About NCOA
Since 1950, we’ve walked beside generations of Americans. We were the first national voice for older adults. We helped end mandatory retirement. We advocated to secure Medicare, Medicaid, and the Older Americans Act. Local organizations turned to us for support as they served older adults every day. And we built digital tools that empower older adults with knowledge.
Now, we’re stepping forward to do even more. Americans are living longer, but far too many are being left behind without the resources to age with dignity. We’re changing that.
We believe aging well is something every American deserves—regardless of gender, color, sexuality, income, or zip code. We deliver the resources, tools, best practices, and advocacy our nation needs to ensure that every person can age with health and financial security.
