Our Mission

  1.   To advocate for policies that reduce the expression of algorithmic bias.

OUR THEORY OF CHANGE

The best way develop policies that reduce the expression of racism by technical products is by:

  •  encoding civil/human rights protections into all policy proposals
  • Developing narrative systems that increase public awareness about racial justice and tech
  • Push for the adoption of policies that reduce algorithmic bias within companies as well as at the federal and multi national levels

Our Focus Areas

  • US Policy
  • UN advocacy
  • Reduction of racialized disinformation

In order to be successful:
