We are a coalition of technologists and organizers working to build community-controlled wireless internet networks in Philadelphia.
We are committed to growing tech literacy, expanding internet access, and building community autonomy with our neighbors. We actively partner with affordable housing organizations and other local groups focused on investing in existing communities. We believe that internet access is a human right.
By developing an alternative model for expanding broadband access and adoption, PCW empowers communities to be involved in the construction, maintenance, and design of a public utility to provide sustainable connectivity for everyone in the neighborhood.
