HOME RULE
The name Home Rule is a callback to the cultural and political history of DC. The podcast, hosted by Ward 2 DC Council candidate Martín Miguel Fernández, is about centering native and local voices to share, discuss, and expand our vision of what this great city, and future state, can be. Home Rule is available on all of your favorite podcast platforms and if you like what you’re hearing, support by donating directly to my campaign. Check us out at MartinForWard2.com, on all FB and IG at @martinforward2, and at @martinmiguel__ on Twitter. Today we’re diving into Municipal Broadband–which has started to gain some traction as an idea here in DC as a result of the pandemic forcing many aspects of life to go remote. Internet access is an intersectional equity issue, with Black and Latinx households often lacking high-speed internet service. To discuss, we’re joined by Dana Floberg, Policy Manager at Free Press Action, and subject matter expert on broadband access and affordability.
