We know that applying a Black feminist analysis to issues in digital rights and tech policy illustrates how the intersection of race and gender results in reconstituted experiences online, as well as revealing the power and geopolitics shaping our digital worlds. Black feminism(s) is the theoretical underpinning for all of our work - including organisational strategy and culture.

Traditional and mainstream policy work does not often include the experiences our focal population have in the online information environment. However we also understand that policy and regulatory levers can be useful tactics towards (sometimes reformist) systemic change. Our policy work builds on existing and new research and lived experience of tech-facilitated harms. We work with coalitions to shape UK, US and EU tech policy to change or introduce regulations to uphold human rights in the digital age.

We want to go far, so we work with others. Our ecosystem work supports organising tactics for movement building related to the intersection of platform governance and democracy, climate injustice, racial, migrant and gender justice, and beyond. These issues faced in these arenas are also impacted by emerging technologies and shape individual and collective harms, as well as resistance approaches.

We will re-launch our programmes in 2026.

We follow Christina Sharpe’s call to imagine otherwise: “to remake the world. [Because] some of us have never had any other choice”. We see this as a radical approach —importantly grounded in Black feminist thought— to consider alternative ways of being with technology. Our vision is one of imagination, and to do that we need to practice and strengthen this muscle. What would it look like for internet technologies to uphold human rights, be ethical and just, and be used for community, connection and equity?
