Access to information is a social justice issue
We strive to ensure all people– regardless of age, education, ethnicity, gender, language, income, physical limitations or geographic barriers– have access to relevant, reliable, and credible information.
By creating unconventional avenues to access technology and learning, we meet people where they are and allow them to decide which information best meets their needs and interests.
