hey friends,
On a slightly different note, a very close friend of mine, Gary Ruskin, is running a the Center for Corporate Policy, relatively new nonprofit focused on fighting corporate crime and violence. Previously, he managed the Prop 37 campaign to label GMOs. Recently, he published a report highlighting how big businesses are spying on activists and radical nonprofits (see
this article in the LA Times).
Lately, Gary and I have been taking about how to begin organizing "mainstream" (forgive the label) tech workers around progressive politics, far beyond mere "civic hacking" on transit apps or Twitter accounts to report inefficiencies. More on that in the coming months...
I'm writing to you all because Gary and I also asked:
Where do folks like the
Center for Corporate Policy go to find allied talent who might develop and evolve their online presence and strategy? At first I thought, well, hmmm, the warm, loving, and supporting Sudo Room crew.
And – if folks are interested in the bigger picture of building bridges between mainstream tech workers and radical activists, I'm eager to continue that conversation, too.
sincerely,
Danny
