About this episode

Alfredo Lopez, Co-director of May First/People Link, calls to action progressive technologists, or "radical techies".What is a radical techie? Often, they are the facilitators of discussions within social justice organizations about technology. Fundamental to this is the ability to organize within the progressive movement, not simply to provide tools.MF/PL is an organization of progressive people who use the Internet. We have joined together to pool our resources to assure ourselves quality equipment and staff support and to improve our access to the Internet, enhance its function as a tool for mass communication and organizing, develop new technologies and uses for it, and help social justice movements use it effectively to collaborate.
