MediaJustice

The people fighting Big Tech, in one room.

The fight against Big Tech is happening in hundreds of towns at once. Take Back Tech puts those fights in one room. MediaJustice and Mijente host the largest gathering of organizers fighting tech power in the country, where the neighbor leading a campaign against a data center sits next to the immigrant rights organizer, the tech worker, and writers like Naomi Klein, Gil Duran and Dr. Safiya Noble. People leave with shared analysis, new collaborations, and deeper relationships with each other.
