We connect people who care about tech justice through workshops, forums and other events. Our convenings cut across themes, communities and experiences. 

For example, racial justice organisations and grant makers talking about tech injustice. Or design agencies and decolonising evaluators exploring ethical tech. 

People who might otherwise never meet, unite around shared concerns and act together.

To create a better future we have to imagine it first. Imagination helps us see a way into a new paradigm – where technology is fair.

Using storytelling, art, and poetry, we collaborate with communities, creatives, and technologists to unlock ideas and explore individual and collective power. 

The world needs tech that does no harm. Tech that creates equity and fairness. People and communities are creating tools that do this. Tools that they control and run. We provide money, resources, peer support and opportunities to share learning so they can experiment and build together.

The tech justice field is vibrant and more extensive than many people currently realise. It encompasses areas like feminist AI, community decision-making technology, and tools specifically designed to advance justice. 

But much of what gets built, just-like people’s lived-experience of tech harm, is unseen or ignored by institutional power. So we amplify and support people’s voices and work.

Big tech harms people and nature, while ineffective government regulations fail to reduce inequity. We want to use our collective power to challenge Big Tech – putting our weight, resources and experience behind tech justice campaigns.
