Today’s session: Investigate the tech industry’s relationship to global structures of oppression and map how the flow of power impacts your role in the world as a worker.

Powering On is a political education and organizing program for tech workers put together by the Tech Workers Coalition (TWC). This is a 6-week program for tech workers to build conceptual frameworks for analyzing the tech industry’s relationship to global structures of oppression and develop concrete strategies for organizing. Mandatory registration with Zoom

POWERING ON will begin on April 2, meeting every Tuesdays at 5pm PT / 8pm ET. The program is designed to build on each week, so consecutive attendance is ideal, but not required. We’ll be meeting virtually.
