  • Women & Broadband: The Push for Digital Equity – A Talk with Midcoast Women

    Christa Thorpe

    Clara McCool

    Dr. Sheryl Dasco

    Susan Corbett

    What’s the difference between broadband and internet? And what’s with all the work on utility poles these days? What are they doing and when will traffic improve? In “Women and Broadband: The Push for Digital Equity,” we will discuss answers to these questions, learn the basics about this “public utility,” and begin to understand how access or lack of access impacts the health, livelihood, and connections of women in our community. Moderated by Dr. Sheryl Dacso.

    Midcoast Women provides opportunities for area women of all ages – including trans women and genderqueer women – to find and strengthen our individual and collective voices. The talk will feature the following speakers from Midcoast Women:
