Mozilla Festival 2021 (March 8th – 19th, 2021)

Why We Should Care: Technology and the Black Community
04-21, 23:30–00:30 (Europe/Amsterdam), Zoom Room 1A

In many ways, the creation of our future is in the hands of technology companies that do not accurately represent the increasing diversity of our society. The continued marginalization of Black communities through the use of technology is well documented, yet many of the victims of the most egregious uses of technology are not only left out of the conversations regarding how to rectify it but do not understand why they should care. This fireside chat will showcase the many ways why we should all not only care about the role of technology in our society, but why active disengagement will be to all of our perils.


We're hoping that many efforts and discussions will continue after Mozfest. Share any ideas you already have for how to continue the work from your session.
