//our levers of change
Research
We conduct research, support under-represented scholars of color, and actively build the future of the field of critical data, information, and internet studies.
Action
We support the work of community based organizations and provide expertise to inform International, federal, state, and local policy that foregrounds humanity over tech.
Care
We believe long-term societal change requires us to support the physical, mental, and financial wellbeing and fill gaps that allow for participation of our network.
our work in practice
We believe in order to create sustainable, long-term societal change we have to create and provide the mechanisms of care to support the wellbeing of the whole person. Sustainable changemaking cannot be achieved without regard for all the needs of those in the work.
