TechEquity Collaborative

TechEquity Collaborative works towards a world where the technology industry is responsible for building widespread economic prosperity and held accountable for the harms it creates. To achieve this, the organization raises public consciousness about emerging areas where technology companies create economic inequality, articulates and advocates for regulation and adoption of industry-wide standards to address the harms and opportunities the organization identifies, and supports implementation and enforcement of these regulatory agendas and industry standards. Substantively, TechEquity’s work is anchored around a variety of initiatives such as the Contract Worker Disparity Project and the Tech, Bias, and Labor initiative. In addition, it is leading the California AI Campaign, which helps labor, economic equity, civil rights organizations, and others come together in common purpose to ensure that policy frameworks that are adopted in California are informed by the needs of people who are most impacted by technology. The award provides general operating support to TechEquity.

TechEquity Collaborative envisions a world where the growth of the technology industry creates economic prosperity for everyone, and where technology sector employees and companies are engaged and active participants in making our economy equitable. Its mission is to mobilize technology workers and companies to advance structural change that addresses economic inequity at its roots. TechEquity does this in three primary ways. First it creates educational spaces in which the technology community can deepen its understanding of structural inequities, the history behind them, and the solutions that can be enacted. Second, TechEquity advocates for public policy that addresses structural inequity in the economy. It works on issues that have a nexus with technology and the economy, with a focus on housing, workforce, and labor. Third, it researches, develops, and promotes equitable corporate practices that build equity and opportunity in the broader economy. The award provides general operating support to TechEquity.
