Tech and Revolution meeting in NYC, Nov 2017

Please join myself, Radical Action DesignProgressive Technology ProjectMay First / People Link and other progressive and social justice movement technologists for a special Technology and Revolution mini-convergence, the 20th convergence of this kind this year, at ThoughtWorks – Monday, November 13 from 6- 9 pm in NYC.

Tools have an important role in our movement – and our role as techies in figuring out the design and training components is critical. However, we also need to think as organizers, and begin addressing the bigger role technology plays in shaping both society and our movements.

  • How can our movements go beyond the defensive?
  • What role does technology play in building such a strategy?
  • Can we succeed without having more control over technology’s role in society?
  • Should technology for liberation play a more central role in our movements?

Where: ThoughtWorks, 99 Madison Ave, 15th Floor, New York

When: Monday, November 13, 2017 6 – 9:00 pm
