City of Portland, NTEN, and Comcast Announce Fellows Selected to Help Expand Digital Equity Programs Locally

Comcast Pacific Northwest

Today, the City of Portland, Comcast, and NTEN announced the five fellows and organizations in the 2024 Portland Digital Equity Service Corps (DESC) that were selected to receive a grant of up to $5,000 to help launch or expand a sustainable digital literacy program within their missions. They are: Marina Alvarez, Latino Network; Isa Alvarez, Hacienda CDC; Jeremy Gomez, Free Geek; Rukia Aweys Mohamed, African Refugee Immigrant Organization; and Fabiola Sanchez from Rosewood Initiative. In addition to funding assistance, the DESC fellows will receive training in program design and management, accessibility, adult education learning methods, impact evaluation, coalition building, leadership skills, workforce development strategies, and more. The Portland DESC, administered by NTEN, was selected as a $250,000 grant winner of the Talent for Tomorrow: Digital Equity Challenge that was launched as a joint initiative earlier this year by the U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM) and Comcast’s Project UP. The Digital Equity Challenge supports the development and expansion of local workforce programs designed to grow college and career readiness, close the digital skills gap, advance economic mobility, and lay the foundation for generational wealth in under-resourced communities. “Tackling digital equity requires multi-stakeholder collaboration and a holistic approach to inclusive community access. We believe that the outcomes from this fellowship will help expand pathways for educational and workforce advancement,” said Rebecca Gibbons, City of Portland Digital Equity Manager. “Nationwide and locally, Indigenous people, Black Americans, Latino Americans, low-income households and people living with disabilities face barriers that result in the lowest rates of accessibility to the internet and to devices. The City of Portland’s strategy to closing the digital divide calls for a cross-sectional and root-cause approach.” The Portland DESC, which models and builds on a decade of insights from NTEN's Digital Inclusion Fellowship, will equip fellows with the tools to establish sustainable digital literacy programs in the rural and urban communities most affected by digital inequities. NTEN provides mentors and comprehensive support to all fellows as they develop and implement a digital inclusion program tailored to their organization's and community's specific needs and contexts. The five organizations participating in the fellowship have deep roots in their communities and working on issues such as affordable housing, tech sustainability, digital access and youth engagement. "Organizations face many barriers to meeting their community's socioeconomic and civic needs. When community members don't have internet access or the skills to use it, those barriers are even higher," said Amy Sample Ward, CEO of NTEN. "We believe that the organizations best positioned to provide critical digital literacy programs are those that are already in and trusted by impacted communities. Our program is designed to build the skills, confidence and effectiveness of the fellows to deliver an innovative, sustainable digital literacy program that meets communities where they are." Project UP is Comcast’s a comprehensive initiative to advance digital equity and help build a future of unlimited possibilities. With a substantial commitment of $1 billion to reach tens of millions of people, Project UP encompasses programs and community partnerships across Comcast, NBCUniversal, and Sky to connect people to the Internet, promote economic mobility, and create opportunities for the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, storytellers, and creators. "Comcast is proud to partner with NTEN and the city to build on our shared commitment to digital equity through Portland's Digital Equity Service Corps," said Rodrigo Lopez, Region Senior Vice President for Comcast in the Pacific Northwest. "Together, we are pleased to support an impressive group of people passionate about bringing digital equity to communities. These individuals will ensure that more people, especially those most often left out of the digital economy, can take advantage of the opportunities that come with acquiring digital skills." About NTEN NTEN is creating a world where missions and movements are successful through the skillful and equitable use of technology. We build transformative power by connecting people who are putting technology to work for social change. We strengthen their individual and collective capacity for doing good by offering expert trainings, researching effective approaches, and providing places where relationships can flourish. We relentlessly advocate for the redesign of the systems and structures that maintain inequity. NTEN’s amazing community is made up of nonprofit staff, volunteers, board members, funders, consultants, and vendors from all walks of life.

K3 Holdings and Alpine LA Properties Warn of Possible Unintended Consequences of Proposition 33 on Los Angeles Housing Market

K3 Holdings

K3 Holdings, a privately held real estate investment firm with extensive holdings throughout the United States and Alpine LA Properties, a leasing company providing newly remodeled apartments at affordable rates in Los Angeles voiced concern today about debate over California Proposition 33. Proposition 33 moves the decision of rent control laws into the hands of municipalities. While the proposal is intended to support vulnerable renters, via rent control and/or vacancy control solutions, many within the real estate and housing industries are raising concerns about its potential impact on housing availability. As municipalities create new legislation and regulations, many of these policies may have unintended negative consequences, especially for low-income families. Some experts are warning that Proposition 33 may result in fewer affordable housing options and discourage investment in new development, exacerbating the city's housing crisis. “As a property management company with deep roots in the Los Angeles community, we are committed to supporting renters and ensuring the availability of safe, affordable housing options,” stated Michael Kadisha, a Principal of K3 Holdings. “We have long been a resource to local leaders and policymakers, offering insights into the needs of renters and the realities of the housing market, and we look forward to further collaboration.” “While we understand and respect the goals behind Proposition 33, we are concerned that its unintended consequences will be harmful to the very communities it aims to protect. Proposition 33 could reduce the supply of housing options, especially for low-income families, by discouraging new development and forcing out existing property owners. This could exacerbate the housing crisis, not alleviate it,” Michael Kadisha continued. “By making it financially untenable for real estate owners and developers to operate, this proposal may inadvertently limit the number of available homes, leading to fewer choices for renters and higher prices in the long term,” Nathan Kadisha a K3 Principal added. “Surely this is not what local leaders, and the community is intending with these proposals.” “Our goal is to remain a partner in crafting balanced, effective housing policies that protect renters while also ensuring a healthy, sustainable housing market. We stand ready to work with city leaders to find solutions that benefit both renters and property owners alike,” Nathan Kadisha continued. While K3 does not endorse or reject any specific legislation and refrains from political involvement, its sole focus remains on building strong communities and helping renters thrive. About K3 Holdings and Alpine LA Properties K3 Holdings and Alpine LA Properties are committed to creating strong, vibrant communities through thoughtful property management and a focus on fostering neighborly connections. By hosting community events and providing quality living spaces, we strive to make our neighborhoods places where residents feel a sense of pride and belonging. ### For more information or to schedule an interview with a K3 spokesperson, please contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or dan@danrene.com Contact Details K3 Holdings/Alpine LA Properties Dan Rene +1 202-329-8357 dan@danrene.com Company Website https://k3holdings.com/

Hobdey-Sanchez, J.D., Idaho State Broadband Program Manager. “These public-private partnerships with Internet service providers – like Comcast – will help ensure every Idaho resident has access to reliable, high-speed Internet, regardless of where they live. Together, we can bridge the digital divide and empower people with the tools they need to survive in today's connected world.” Comcast’s commitment to communities goes beyond network expansion and aims to increase economic mobility through programs that help bridge the digital divide like Internet Essentials, which offers eligible households high-speed Internet for $9.95/month, and Internet Essentials Plus which is available for $29.95/month. Affordable computers are also available through Internet Essentials. “Our fiber network expansion in Franklin County, Idaho represents a significant milestone in our commitment to connecting communities,” said Kyle Weaver, Sr. Director of Construction, Comcast Mountain West Region. “This project underscores the critical importance of public-private partnerships, which have been instrumental in bringing next-generation connectivity to this region. By working together with local leaders, we’re not just building infrastructure; we’re creating opportunities for residents and businesses to thrive in today’s digital world.” Comcast’s Next Generation Network Fastest Internet: Future-ready network offers Gig speeds to more homes and businesses in America today, with multi-gig speeds rolling out across the U.S. now.

Ohio Pension Funds Sue Boeing and Former Chairman Over Plane Failures

NLPC

Why is former Boeing Chairman Larry Kellner – who led the company’s governance oversight during last year’s infamous Alaska Airlines door plug blowout – now head of the safety committee on ExxonMobil’s board of directors? That’s what a shareholder in both companies – National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) – is asking. And now two pension funds for the State of Ohio are demanding answers from Boeing and its board members (both current and former) about the devaluation of their investment. Attorney General Dave Yost announced Tuesday that he is suing the board of directors for the Washington, DC-based jet manufacturer, “seeking accountability for a pattern of safety and compliance failures that have harmed the company and its investors.” Yost is representing the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System and the State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio in the litigation, and accuses Boeing board members of breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to properly oversee the company. The lawsuit alleges the members knew “about the ongoing unsafe practices but even today fail to address them, choosing instead to prioritize profits over safety and regulatory compliance.” Among the defendants singled out by Yost is former Boeing chairman Kellner, who departed from the company under a cloud earlier this year, following the Alaska Airlines incident and other safety failures, in what CNN described as “a complete decapitation” of leadership. Among the allegations pointed out in the Ohio lawsuit about Kellner was that he: served on the board’s Aerospace Safety Committee since 2019; solicited votes from shareholders with other directors who “issued materially false or misleading statements with knowledge of their falsity or reckless disregard for their truth” in both 2023 and 2024; with other directors, “knowingly or with reckless disregard made false or misleading statements of material fact and omitted material information concerning the safety of Boeing’s airplane manufacturing…”; was opposed by proxy advisor Glass Lewis for re-election to the board in 2021 and 2022, “given his role as Audit Committee Chair during the [737] MAX Crashes” in Indonesia and Ethiopia. Yost summarizes the lawsuit against Boeing directors, including Kellner, by alleging they issued “false or misleading” statements “with knowing intent to deceive, manipulate, or defraud.” Yet today Kellner enjoys a soft landing on the board of directors for ExxonMobil, where he chairs the oil giant’s Environment, Safety and Public Policy Committee, with millions of dollars in stock awards and remuneration. This is after Boeing on Wednesday reported a third-quarter loss of more than $6 billion in the wake of the financial, reputational and litigation disaster left behind in the wake of Kellner’s failed leadership. “In the part of his career and experience which is supposed to highlight the majority of his credentials to serve in his current role on ExxonMobil’s board, Larry Kellner has been an unmitigated disaster,” said Paul Chesser, director of NLPC’s Corporate Integrity Project, an investor in both Boeing and ExxonMobil. “Exxon is not without safety and environmental failures in its history that have cost lives, injuries and destruction. How can it say with a straight face that Mr. Kellner is the best person to oversee the company’s environment and safety policies and practices?” Earlier this year in advance of ExxonMobil’s annual meeting, NLPC filed a proxy memo with the Securities and Exchange Commission, detailing Kellner’s shortcomings for the director role and asking fellow shareholders to oppose his candidacy for the board. NLPC also released a short video in May that highlighted Boeing’s mishaps under Kellner’s leadership. ### For more information or to schedule an interview with Paul Chesser, contact Dan Rene at 202-329-8357 or drene@nlpc.org.
