Advocacy

Advocacy at TechEquity

Tech didn’t cause our affordability crisis, but we can help solve it. By partnering with community advocacy organizations with expertise in our policy areas, we bring tech workers to the table to fight for a more inclusive economy—and win.

Powered by Policy Platforms

Our policy platforms guide the work we do at TechEquity. Our advocacy campaigns and partnerships are rooted in the priorities outlined in our Housing and Workforce & Labor Policy Platforms.

We believe these two issue areas are where we can have the most impact as an affordability crisis sweeps the cities that tech companies call home.

Housing

We believe the housing crisis, specifically the region’s inability to build enough housing at all income levels to keep up with our population growth, along with persistent and systemic racial discrimination, are at the root of this problem.
