Leaders in the National Capital Area host an information meeting for all community members on the COVID-19 pandemic, testing, vaccinations and more. They only host the meeting once, and it is only held in the English language. There are no translators or separate meetings for residents who do not speak English or speak English as a second language, isolating a large population of the National Capital Area from receiving important and potentially life-saving health information.

Low-income students in a Prince George’s County neighborhood do not have access to the internet and don’t own computers, making it difficult for them to complete lessons and homework assignments through their school’s virtual, at-home school year during the pandemic. On the other hand, other students throughout the county have affordable access to Wi-Fi, laptops and other needed digital tools to succeed in school. A local nonprofit allocates funds to give each student in the county a laptop, but because they do not have enough funds to supply both laptops and hotspots to every student, they are unable to provide any student with a Wi-Fi hotspot. The students that did not have internet access beforehand in their homes now have a laptop but still cannot access their school’s virtual classrooms and therefore miss lessons and homework assignments throughout the school year.

Low-income students in a Prince George’s County neighborhood do not have access to the internet and don’t own computers, making it difficult for them to complete lessons and homework assignments through their school’s virtual, at-home school year during the pandemic. On the other hand, other students throughout the county have affordable access to Wi-Fi, laptops and other needed digital tools to succeed in school. A local nonprofit sees this data and allocates funds to supply the students without internet access with Wi-Fi hotspots and laptops but does not give hotspots or laptops to the students who already have access to these tools. Now, all students have the tools they need in order to succeed in a virtual learning environment.
