We're pumped to be able to host Backstage Capital founder and Managing Partner Arlan Hamilton, Gig Workers Collective's Vanessa Bain, Alphabet Workers Union Executive Chair Parul Koul, Color of Change President Rashad Robinson, Anti-Defamation League CEO Jonathan Greenblatt and many others.
In addition to the firesides and panel discussions of the virtual stage, the event will also include meeting some of our TechCrunch Include founders and the chance to hold conversations with others from around the world. Agenda Highlights
State of the Union with Parul Koul (Google), Grace Reckers (Office and Professional Employees International Union) and Clarissa Redwine (NYU) Labor unions have been fairly uncommon in tech. That's finally starting to change in recent years, as workers have pushed to organize at some the industry's biggest companies, from Alphabet to Kickstarter. Parul Koul (Google), Grace Reckers (Office and Professional Employees International Union) and Clarissa Redwine (NYU) will join us to discuss the growing movement.
Identifying and Dismantling Tech's Deep Systems of Bias with Haben Girma (Disability Justice Lawyer), Mutale Nkonde (AI for the People) and Safiya Umoja Noble (UCLA) Nearly every popular technology or service has within it systems of bias or exclusion, ignored by the privileged but obvious to the groups affected. How should these systems be exposed and documented, and how can we set about eliminating them and preventing more from appearing in the future? AI for the People's Mutale Nkonde, disability rights lawyer Haben Girma and author of "Algorithms of Oppression" Safiya Umoja Noble discuss a more inclusive future.
The Role of Online Hate and Where Social Media Goes from Here with Naj Austin (Somewhere Good and Ethel's Club), Jesse Lehrich (Accountable Tech) and Rashad Robinson (Color of Change) Toxic culture, deadly conspiracies and organized hate have exploded online in recent years. We'll discuss how much responsibility social networks have in the rise of these phenomena and how to build healthy online communities that make society better, not worse.
Access All Areas: Designing Accessibility from Day One with Cynthia Bennett (Carnegie Mellon University), Srin Madipalli (formerly of Accomable and Airbnb) and Mara Mills (NYU) The session will examine the importance of ensuring accessible product design from the beginning. We'll ask how the social and medical models of disability influence technological evolution. Integrating the expertise of disabled technologists, makers, investors, scientists, software engineers into the DNA of your company from the very beginning is vital to the pursuit of a functioning and equitable society. And could mean you don't leave money on the table.
Be sure to reserve your seat at TC Sessions: Justice today!
