Where technologists and communities work together to explore and build new solutions for New Yorkers
The Council on Tech and Social Cohesion is catalyzing the field of technology for social cohesion.
We envision a world where tech innovators and peacebuilders design technology that strengthens social bonds and enables collaborative problem-solving on pressing policy issues. We are catalyzing a robust, interconnected field of technology for social cohesion. Technology can help to save lives and protect human dignity, especially in high-risk communities. Our focus isn’t just on mitigating digital harms but addressing their root cause: the way technologies are designed and deployed. Our approach is proactive, emphasizing design-centric solutions that build social cohesion. We aim for prosocial technologies to be desirable, affordable and actionable.
