Comcast funds internet access
Comcast announced it has awarded more than $4.3 million in grants in 2022 to 30 nonprofit organizations across Philadelphia that support digital adoption and skills training for residents. Each organization offers programming aimed at connecting residents and businesses in Philadelphia to the internet and building digital skills. The grants were distributed as part of Project UP, Comcast’s 10-year, $1 billion commitment to advance “digital equity” through programs and community partnerships that connect people to the internet, advance economic mobility and open doors for the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, storytellers and creators.
“Our commitment to addressing inequities spans every community we serve, but nowhere is this more evident than in our hometown of Philadelphia,” said Dalila Wilson-Scott, executive vice president and chief diversity officer, Comcast Corporation, and president, Comcast NBCUniversal Foundation. “We are proud to partner with many incredible nonprofits who are helping to connect those who are unconnected and provide the digital skills needed to take advantage of all the internet has to offer. Together, we are helping to advance economic mobility and achieve our shared goal of ensuring all Philadelphians have a future of unlimited possibilities.”
The Philadelphia organizations receiving digital equity support from Comcast in 2022 include Special People In Northeast Inc.
Project UP encompasses “digital equity” programs such as Internet Essentials, Lift Zones and Comcast RISE. Since its inception in 2011, Comcast’s Internet Essentials has connected a cumulative total of more than 10 million low-income Americans to broadband service at home, including more than 520,000 Philadelphia residents.
Additionally, Comcast has launched more than 1,250 Lift Zones in community centers nationwide – with 77 locations in Philadelphia – to provide students and families with free, high-speed WiFi. And through Comcast RISE, a national program created in 2020 to support small businesses owned by women and “people of color” hard hit by the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, Comcast has awarded $2 million in grants – $10,000 each – to 200 small businesses in Philadelphia and Chester and awarded nearly 500 Philadelphia small businesses with service packages in the form of technology makeovers and/or marketing resources.

TWU backs Jeff Brown
The Executive Board of Transport Workers Union Local 234 has unanimously voted to endorse Democrat Jeff Brown in the mayoral race.
TWU Local 234, with 5,300 members, is the largest union representing transit workers at SEPTA.
“Philadelphia needs strong, competent leadership now more than ever and that’s why we’re endorsing Jeff Brown,” said TWU 234 president Brian Pollitt.
TWU is backing Brown for his more than 35 years as owner of Shop Rite and Fresh Grocer stores, which the union said has improved neighborhoods across Philadelphia. He has established grocery stores in previously “underserved” communities, employed thousands of city residents and helped “formerly incarcerated individuals” get a second chance.
TWU was attracted to Brown’s vision for safety and prosperity, his support for unions and small businesses, and his plan to provide services.
Domb issues public safety plan
Democratic mayoral candidate Allan Domb rolled out his campaign’s first policy platform: a public safety plan that includes 10 actions he’d take in his first 100 days as mayor.
Domb’s Agenda for Long-Term Safety and Opportunity is designed to reduce gun violence and homicides by 50 percent by the end of his first term.
Domb would, among other things, declare a crime emergency on his first day in office, declare a public health emergency in Kensington, get illegal vehicles off the street, crack down on retail theft, triple funding for recruitment of police officers, install cameras at every high school and clean every vacant lot and seal every abandoned building.
“Philadelphia is in crisis,” Domb said. “Our communities are getting torn apart by violence and we are getting no leadership from the current mayor. My 10-point action plan for my first 100 days as mayor will immediately turn around this city’s public safety crisis, on the way to lowering homicides by 50 percent over my first term. I’ve spent my career solving problems, and I take immediate action to rebuild our public safety system and end the out-of-control crime crisis.”

Boyle Dem chair of Budget Committee
U.S. House Democrats voted unanimously to elect Rep. Brendan Boyle as ranking member of the Budget Committee.
“I am grateful to my Democratic colleagues for entrusting me with leading the House Budget Committee,” Boyle said. “Budgets reflect our values, and I plan to advocate for working and middle-class families in my future efforts on this committee. As ranking member, I will work toward finding common ground with the majority members of this committee so that, in the end, we hopefully can enact a budget that is fair and equitable to all. I will not stop fighting for the values we share, and an economy that works for everyone.”
Republicans took control of the House in last month’s election. Democratic Rep. John Yarmuth had been the chairman, but did not seek re-election.
Yarmuth said, “Brendan possesses keen political instincts and will be critical in pushing back against Republican disinformation. His ability to combine both the policy and politics make him the right member at the right time for this role.”
“Congressman Brendan Boyle is a remarkable legislator who has fought hard for lower costs and better-paying jobs throughout his tenure in Congress”, said incoming Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. “I congratulate Brendan on his election as he leads the effort to defend our priorities on the House Budget Committee, including the protection of Social Security and Medicare from attacks by the extreme MAGA Republicans.” ••
