🩺 One reason universal broadband is so important: More than half of American households use the internet for health-related activities—so the #DigitalDivide deepens a health care access divide, particularly in communities already underserved by health care facilities. And these are often the same communities where access to affordable, reliable broadband service is still limited. Anna Miller, MPH, manager of Digital Equity and Inclusion at Broadband Ohio at the Ohio Department of Development, explains how that means that the digital divide is also a barrier to accessing food, jobs, and even health care—the essentials of everyday life. https://pew.org/3LTdw5N

I am inspired by the bipartisanship demonstrated by the Obamas and Bushes in joining together to commemorate America’s upcoming 250th anniversary. I look forward to celebrating with all my fellow Americans in 2026! https://lnkd.in/e8MCXiXp

Cutting workforces is appealing when states face budget gaps because of the speed and large savings. But with personnel spending down and some agency vacancy rates as high as 40%, states can't keep banking on this option. Enter: Healthy rainy day funds. https://pew.org/3WKjtsd #PublicPolicy #Fiscal

Philadelphia’s housing market is changing. One reason the market is shifting? The role of investors and cash buyers. • At least one in three homes in Philly are sold to investors. • From 2000 through 2021, nearly 40% of all homes sold by individual sellers were to investors and cash buyers. • Investors and cash buyers tend to buy in different parts of the city from traditional homebuyers. What does this mean for the city? Investors can shift market value, aesthetic appeal, and availability in certain neighborhoods. https://pew.org/3SoC2zl

🌿 Exciting news from Western Australia! The Nanda Traditional Owners are celebrating the joint management and creation of new national parks in Western Australia. This initiative highlights the growing role of Indigenous communities in overseeing their traditional lands, which not only holds significant conservation value but also provides economic development opportunities and strengthens cultural heritage. I’m looking forward to visiting Australia in September. I will be undertaking on-the-ground site visits to learn more about these strides forward. #IndigenousLeadership #Conservation #EconomicDevelopment #CulturalHeritage #SustainableFuture #PewTrusts

Indigenous communities in the Pacific Northwest have maintained clam gardens for over 3,500 years—and this ancient practice is providing marine scientists with helpful lessons to improve modern-day sea garden management. "On the science side, our role is to better understand the ecological mechanisms in traditional teachings," says Marco Hatch, marine scientist, member of the Samish Indian Nation, and 2023 Pew marine fellow. He discusses the connection between Indigenous knowledge, conservation science, and how his childhood inspires his work on "After the Fact." 🎧 Listen to the full episode: https://pew.org/3y4iXfb
