[Chapter-delegates] US Foreign Policy 2.0

[Zaid Ali]

Khaled, I enjoyed the speech also. I think this adds benefit to "The other 3 Billion" initiative where we try to bring the remainder of the world on the internet. I think making the internet accessible to the underprivileged or disadvantaged will not just help US foreign policy but also bridge communities at an individual level. Are there chapters that are involved in initiatives to bring internet to underprivileged and disadvantaged communities? The SF-Bay chapter has an initiative started in this and I am curious to learn from others.
