The Digital Expansion Initiative promotes meaningful Internet access for New Yorkers through research, education, and organizing.
Activities: Founded in 2007, DEI uses participant-led research, media production, public education, and community organizing to expand meaningful Internet access to all New Yorkers. DEI members are interviewing people in their community who have limited access to the Internet while working with high school students to investigate existing infrastructure and policies in New York City.

Partnerships: DEI partners with 5-7 social change organizations, 3 research institutions, and one high school
