Social and Economic Justice: Discourse and Action
Developed in collaboration with:
Association for Community Networking (AFCN) |
Many of us come to this field motivated by a desire to advance social justice objectives. In many organizations we recognize social justice as an implicit aim. We want a more explicit discussion and statement. We've chose DDN as a place to house that discussion because of the explicit naming of a divide and a wish to remedy that divide, but we're not exclusively concerned with the "Digital".

let's explore that possibility.
Can we be more strategic in the use of community ICT to advance our social justice aspirations? How?
What are our social justice aspirations?
