Yet in truth, technology and equity are not eventual partners. Technology, data decision making, and investment needs to be centered in equity and community needs if a better world is to come. Active participation by folks from all sides of the sector is necessary for making real the changes we present. This includes social impact organizations changing the way they use technology and data, technology creators changing who is involved and how they make technology, and investors and funders redirecting assets to those most connected to the needs.
