Allyship and connectivity

 
Hey there, Baltimore. Happy to be back at it after a long weekend away. A couple of neat things for your consideration today:
  • What does allyship look like in the workplace? This Friday, June 25, we'll be talking about it with John Foster, COO of Baltimore dev agency Fearless, and Sam Chenkin, a Philadelphia-based community organizer and nonprofit pro, on the Technical.ly Slack. Read more and join us here.
  • That's a lotta zeroes: Below, check out a pair of stories on big funding coming through for equity-focused intiatives from reporter Donte Kirby. Morgan State received funding from tech giants, while a new fund from the FCC has billions for schools and libraries to provide devices and Wi-Fi.
