We build cultural change—and win structural change

By bringing the tech community into these longstanding movements for housing and workforce & labor equity, we not only achieve more equitable policy outcomes faster, we also embed an ethos of empathy in the tech sector.

Housing

We are experiencing an unprecedented housing and homelessness crisis. We enact systemic policy change in three areas: production, protection, and preservation.

Workforce & Labor

From automation to the gig economy, technology and the tech industry are changing the nature of work. We advance public and corporate policy that ensures everyone has access to good jobs.

What We Do

We mobilize tech workers and companies to advance structural change that addresses economic inequity at its roots. We do this in three ways:

  • Education: We create educational spaces in which the tech community can deepen their understanding of structural inequities, the history behind them, and the solutions we can enact together.
  • Public Policy: We advocate for public policy that addresses structural inequity in our economy. We work on issues that have a nexus with tech and the economy, with a focus on housing and workforce & labor.
  • Corporate Practice: We research, develop, and promote equitable corporate practices that build equity and opportunity in the broader economy.

We bring rank-and-file tech workers—and their outsized civic power—into these longstanding movements for justice, accelerating the pace of change.

Why is the rent so damn high?

We hosted a panel to answer the question: why is it so expensive to build a unit of housing? It’s a surprisingly complicated question, but the Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC-Berkeley has been doing really great work trying to get to the bottom of it.
