Last checked: 3/26/2026

The source text confirms all substantive elements of the program's focus and mission (equitable digital access, fair regulation, civil/human rights in digital spaces, tech capacity for social justice orgs). However, the source does not identify the program director by name. The claim includes 'directed by Lori McGlinchey' which cannot be verified from this source text. The date 'as of 2026-03' is consistent with the source URL being current, though the source itself doesn't explicitly state a date for the program description. Since the core program description is confirmed but the director attribution is unverifiable from this source, the verdict is 'partial.'

Note: The source text confirms all substantive elements of the program's focus and mission (equitable digital access, fair regulation, civil/human rights, tech capacity for social justice orgs). However, the provided excerpt does not mention Lori McGlinchey or identify who directs the program. Since the claim includes a specific person as director and the source does not address this, the claim is only partially verified. The temporal marker '2026-03' aligns with the source's most recent content date (March 4, 2026), so there is no temporal mismatch.
