National Coalition for Literacy Discussion List
View all threadsHi folks,
Sorry I missed the policy call yesterday; I had to be on a different policy call relating to immigration public charge issues.
A few items from my end:
NSC did a blog post on the Dream Acthttps://www.nationalskillscoalition.org/news/blog/house-passes-dream-and-promise-act-in-bipartisan-vote.
As a note, the US Chamber of Commerce listed the bill as a "key vote"https://www.uschamber.com/sites/default/files/190603_kv_h.r.6_house.pdf and the ACLU was also urging members to support. How often do you get those two groups on the same side of an issue?!
We're hearing that the Digital Equity Act might get rolled up in omnibus legislation around broadband and other infrastructure items. Makes sense but we don't have confirmation at this point.
