Today, we live in a world where technology is being used to
innovate for a very small section of the global population, while the
majority of people around the world are exploited and oppressed by these
latest inventions. We are living in an era where white supremacy and
colonization is not only found in our history books, but its bias also
lies in our algorithms controlling our digital world.

In 1972, The Black Panther Party added "Community Control of Modern Technology" to their 10th point in their 10-Point Program and raised “The Technology Question.” As our communities continue to resist inequality and racism in the digital age, TechActivist.Org will kickstart monthly tech training workshops in New York City to teach what self-defense and self-determination looks like in the 21st century.

We want land, bread, housing, education,
clothing, justice, peace and people's community
control of modern technology.

Join us for our kickoff event with Guest Speaker Sister
Elaine Brown as we discuss the inclusion of technology in the liberation
movement.

Recorded live @ The Peoples' Forum NYC 10/13/2018

Placing one race above any other is still bigotry no matter the color of the accuser. What happened to the libertarian roots of BPP founders? Ressurect the Republic for all people because All Lives Matter. Division is creating scarcity. Freedom isn't free and just because more money is spent to further an ideological tyrannical system doesn't make it better. In order to redistribute something you first have to steal from someone else.

Agdree. Equal opportunity at a chance to have a dignified life and no bullying or violence! Live and let live! Diversity and mutual respect and love! Treat people based on content of ones character. Not by phony socially engineered ideals and racism. 600 years ago there was no concept of prisons, no slaves, no guns (weaponized technology) and no money on this land. Build our own currency? Possibly abandon money? Who knows what future will bring. But new prospects await hopefully for better tomorrows for ALL non-malicious people on this land, if we can raise awareness and consciousness and empathy! Also change economic policy and #ChangeTheLaws ie #ChangeTheLaws ie #RestoreCommon

Money will never be abandoned because it is the only true store of value. Gold and silver are still sound money and there are many reasons globalists outlaw them. Guns are the great equalizer and without them genocide fears its ugly head. We have many differences. Your speaker espouses ideology different from this viewpoint. Please do a better job to articulate these differences.

I look forward to learning more from you but I hope you can at least stand against the infanticide recently legalized in your state.

Yes it is crazy and horiffic what is going on in the world today. Still I get inspired by people making a difference. Elaine, btw, now helps people formerly in prison with getting meaningful work and a place to stay. She really is about helping people and humanity. And encourage people to learn self-defense etc. She's a good one. I don't even know current the current status of BPP but I know originally they inspired people from all races.
