On a black background, text: The digital divide is a political divide. Because in an emergency, it matters if you can... Receive accurate information when fires force communities to evacuate. Send a message to loved ones in times of crisis. Share details of affected persons on the ground when storms disintegrate already fragile infrastructure. Access emergency services when floods cut through villages. There is a visual element of a glitchy error message on the top right corner and the Take Back The Tech! logo on the bottom right corner.

Nearly 600 million people in sub-Saharan Africa don't have steady electricity. In West Africa, heat kills battery life faster, humidity eats away at circuits, power surges fry routers and chargers, floods soak radios, phones, solar gear.
