TechTonic Justice

A multidimensional, community-based effort to strengthen local justice movements and build long-term power among the people and communities that AI is leaving behind.

Active
Los Angeles, CA

Government officials, business leaders, and other people in positions of power regularly use AI and related technologies to wrongly cut Medicaid and other public benefits, deny people housing, employment, or credit, take kids from loving parents, intensify domestic violence and sexual abuse or harassment, label and mistreat middle- and high-school kids as likely dropouts or criminals, and falsely accuse Black and brown people of crimes, all at scales and speeds impossible with analog methods. TechTonic Justice resists the harms that AI inflicts on low-income people nationwide by supporting, coalescing, and catalyzing legal aid programs, their client communities, and other frontline organizations.
