The SHLB Coalition is organizing a fly-in of SHLB members to support E-rate, the Rural Health Care program and the Universal Service Fund in March, 2026.
The purpose of the fly-in is to educate Congress about the importance of preserving E-rate and the RHC program so that schools, libraries and healthcare providers can make affordable broadband service available to their communities.
Take a look at our #ProtectUSF initiatives and last year's successful fly-in.
