Relevance
Tech justice focuses on equity, ensuring that technology serves all communities fairly. However, many systems still reinforce inequalities. Progress comes from using available tools to reduce harm while pushing for broader systemic changes that support intersectional justice. This includes ensuring that historically excluded and exploited communities have access to the digital tools and resources they need, even within flawed systems, while pushing for more equitable control over data and digital identity.
