Dana, Lauryl, and Camille came together in May 2017 to think about how to carve out a space for technology and technologists within radical and progressive activism. We all come from the cooperative/solidarity economy space and found that while many activists and organizers were thinking about ways to divest from businesses and practices that harm our communities in the areas of food, fashion, and finance, this conscious consumer behavior rarely extended to the realm of technology.
With our work in this collective, we hope to empower organizers and the communities they struggle alongside to invest in and leverage tools that uplift and protect us all, as we continue to fight.
