About the Organization

We envision a world where technology is radically reimagined to support human and planetary well-being for the global majority.

We address the systemic neglect of  environmental justice in technology development through three pillars of education, research, and action, empowering communities and leaders to create technology for a thriving world.

Educational Innovation: We develop and deliver programs like the Environmental Justice in Tech Fellowship and Study Hall, creating pathways for youth and professionals to integrate justice into STEM fields.

Collaborative Research: By exploring issues such as environmentally just data governance and the intersection of public health and climate change, we aim to redefine how technology interacts with our environment.

Community-Driven Action: From workshops to digital toolkits, we empower communities to advocate for and implement equitable technology solutions.
