<p dir="auto">Happy Digital Inclusion Week, WNYDEC folks!</p>
<p dir="auto">Sorry to get these all out so late. I’ve been working on these over the past several weeks, but some life events arose over the past two weeks that prevented me from putting more attention into them.</p>
<p dir="auto">Even if they’re getting to you a bit late, you can still use these materials to promote Digital Inclusion Week and to help educate the community about digital inclusion gaps and assets.</p>
<p dir="auto">First, huge thanks to Mission: Ignite for working with Representative Tim Kennedy’s office to put together a Digital Inclusion Week video. Feel free to share this with your networks:</p>
<p dir="auto"><a href="https://youtu.be/aWVv1w1pSFs" originalsrc="https://youtu.be/aWVv1w1pSFs" style="color:#3983C4">https://youtu.be/aWVv1w1pSFs</a></p>
<p dir="auto">I’m also attaching county and Congressional district fact sheets with a few highlights from the American Community Survey. The data for Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, and Niagara counties are all 2023 data (2024 release).</p>
<p dir="auto">I was not able to get the data (five-year estimates, which are necessary because annual estimates are only available for places with 60,000 or more residents) for Allegany, Genesee, Orleans, and Wyoming counties because I didn’t get there before
the government shutdown.</p>
<p dir="auto">Once the government reopens, you’ll be able to reference the source data here if you want to examine them in greater detail:</p>
<p dir="auto"><a href="https://data.census.gov/table/ACSST1Y2024.S2801" originalsrc="https://data.census.gov/table/ACSST1Y2024.S2801" style="color:#3983C4">2024 Single-Year Estimates</a><br>
<a href="https://data.census.gov/table/ACSST5Y2023.S2801?d=ACS+5-Year+Estimates+Subject+Tables" originalsrc="https://data.census.gov/table/ACSST5Y2023.S2801?d=ACS+5-Year+Estimates+Subject+Tables" style="color:#3983C4">2023 Five-Year Estimates</a></p>
<p dir="auto">In both cases, Click on the “Geos” button at the top of the table and you’ll be able to drill down to your geography of interest.</p>
<p dir="auto">Finally, I’m attaching a handful of general use images that you can share on your social media or include in newsletters/emails. They aren’t specific to Digital Inclusion Week, so they can be used for other things as well. The QR codes point to
the WNYDEC website. If I’m able to build one or two more, I’ll send them out as well under separate cover.</p>
<p dir="auto">Warm regards,</p>
<p dir="auto">Don</p>
