Hello AoIR,
In this May Day, the [1]Homeless Worker Movement in Brazil (MTST)
launched a primer on digital sovereignty. It addresses issues of
sovereignty and technology from social movements, workers' struggles
and the majority world.
The primer was supported by the University of Toronto through
the [2]ACM Research, Creative & Professional Practice Grant (RCPP) from
the Department of Arts, Culture and Media. The research and
dissemination process was built collectively between members of the
Technology Sector of the Homeless Worker Movement in Brazil
and [3]Rafael Grohmann/[4]DigiLabour , as a knowledge mobilizati on
activity.
Read the Primer in [5]English or [6]Portuguese.
It is also available on the social movement's[7] home page.
Some of the principles of the Homeless Worker Movement in Brazil for
digital sovereignty are:
* Technological sovereignty focused on a "popular" framework,
anchored in the working class perspective;
* Significant access to technologies, with technological literacy
conducted from a critical perspective;
* Ownership of digital platforms and other technologies in the hands
of workers;
* Data should serve workers, not work against them;
* Safe Internet for minoritized populations.
best,
Rafael
