This is great Christoph! We are on the same wavelength at the non profit Tech for Good Canada. I signed up! Maybe we can plan efforts together going forward, bringing together academia and civil society. I can definitely refer your effort on our site, and reproduce any articles you may publish in the " Tech for Good https://techforgoodcanada.com/tech-for-good/" or " Digital Citizenship https://techforgoodcanada.com/digital-citizenship/" sections of the blog.
Check out our site below for pastCitizen Discussions https://techforgoodcanada.com/events/, surveys and resources on using and developping Tech for our common good. Happy to chat as well or join an upcoming meeting to get acquainted.
Kind regards, Caroline

Hello all,
I want to share something that I've been working on with a group of people including Lucy Suchman, Andrew Clement and Doug Schuler for 7 months following a workshop https://techotherwise.pubpub.org/pdc20 I organized at the Participatory Design conference last year. We released it on Friday, and I think it resonates with many of you.
In Defund Big Tech, Refund Community: Another Tech is Possible https://doi.org/10.21428/93b2c832.e0100a3f, we argue that now is the time to radically redirect the future of tech. To think tech otherwise is to move away from binaries of tech or not (though we may sometimes need to make that judgement), in favour of how we could make tech differently, in the service of our collective and sustainable well being.
The Tech Otherwise platform we built for this is designed to continue this conversation. We are now publicizing this, with some pieces coming out and maybe some media coverage (fingers crossed!) - please consider reading, commenting, and spreading the word.
I am resending this with only this one main link and the DOI as it seems to have gotten into everyone’s junk folder with the precise links :D https://techotherwise.pubpub.org/
Consider using #TechOtherwise if you tweet about it.
Thank you,
Christoph
