#TechPolicySoWhite

Coverage Type: 

The lack of diversity in tech policy means that regulators and lawmakers make policy decisions that impact marginalized groups from a perspective that is not inclusive of the viewpoints of these communities. I thought it was important to bring these thoughts to the forefront and also identify some solutions for resolving this diversity issue so we can make a transition from #TechPolicySoWhite to #TechPolicyKindaWhite to #TechPolicySoDiverse. Solutions to remedy the lack of diversity in tech policy:

  • Diversify Tech Policy Panels and Events
  • Make Diverse Hires
  • Create Fellowship Programs With Meaningful Pay
