conversations about technology and labor towards issues of power, inequality, and social justice, and incorporate themes of feminism, anti-racism, and transnationalism. We also seek to foster an interdisciplinary, cross-regional, and community-oriented space
for discussion, collaboration, and empowerment. For a deeper discussion of our mission, please visit our webpage. For a list of our previous winners,

<span style="text-transform: none;">Focus will be on a particular campaign or project that is done with the aim of social justice regarding labor and/or technology. These projects may be broad (such as educating the public on a social justice issue) or specific
(such as organizing a protest for higher wages). They may use a variety of strategies (e.g., art, design, social media, marches and strikes, policy interventions, etc.). We'd like to honor activists who, through these projects, have developed novel approaches
or who are pioneers in the fight for more equitable relations of technology and/or labor.</span></p>
