The Children's Partnership released this week an Issue Brief on Broadband and Youth entitled, Helping Our Children Succeed: What's Broadband Got to do With It? Considering that there is substantial action in the Calif state legislature and in Congress that will impact not only access to the Internet, but the multitudes of services it provides and applications it powers for our young people, we feel this is an important piece. We hope you will share it widely.

Helping Our Children Succeed: What's Broadband got to do with it?
By April KirkHart and James Lau with Wendy Lazarus
June 2006

This issue brief is designed to help leaders for children better understand what broadband is and what is at stake for our nation's 73 million children in the policy debate, and to offer concrete ways that leaders can make children's needs a priority and advocate for digital opportunities for all youth.
