Description
The California Community Technology Policy Group (CCTPG) includes representatives from diverse community-based and statewide organizations located throughout California. Our goal is to advocate for policies that assure underserved communities reap the economic, educational, health, and civic benefits offered by computers, the Internet, and new digital innovations. CCTPG was formed as the Computers In Our Future Policy Group in 1998 and expanded its steering committee in 2001.
Our knowledge and expertise about what's needed comes from many years of on-the-ground experience providing access and opportunities to learn to use technology to tens of thousands of low-income residents across California. We use our experience in local communities to advocate for the most effective ways to direct resources to low-income communities so residents gain access to computers, the Internet, technology skills training, and the ability to use technology tools to meet life's daily needs.
We work with decision-makers in the public and private sectors, including the California legislature and executive branch, to direct resources for community technology in underserved communities -- whether through community technology centers (CTCs), after-school programs, or other community-based organizations. Our work is supported by The California Consumer Protection Foundation, The California Wellness Foundation, The Community Technology Foundation of California, The James Irvine Foundation, and bd Systems.
