Recently, I proudly joined nine other colleagues to
send a letter to Alphabet Inc., the parent company of YouTube and
Google to demand they conduct a self-audit on racial equity
within its platforms.

When we rely so heavily on algorithms and big data, we
often see our bigotries and biases replicated in this so-called
“objective” data. Rather than being a great equalizer, we often
find that big tech codefies and reinforces inequalities in modern
society.

This is pernicious and ubiquitous. Crucial
opportunities can be hidden from a person because of their name
or where they live; apps meant to detect skin conditions are
found to be ineffective or inadequate on dark skin. I could go on
and on.

This creates a culture of marginalization and
prioritization that disproportionately harms communities of
color, and it’s Alphabet Inc’s responsibility to conduct this
audit and implement measures to take account for inherent biases
within their tech.

If you’re with me in this fight to hold big tech
accountable for its inherent biases and damage done to
communities of color, help me keep this up by donating $25 to my
campaign, today.

This kind of ingrained racism is nothing new, but I’m
proud to shine a light on the responsibility these massive tech
companies are shirking. I’m proud to stand up against this kind
of institutional racism that hides behind a veneer of
impartiality.

While companies like Alphabet may feel their money and
influence can shield them from responsibility to marginalized
communities, we need leaders to stand up to these companies and
fight for our communities.

I’m proud to be your
champion, folks. If you want to join my
fight to make technology not only accessible, but equitable,
donate to my campaign today so I can continue holding the most
powerful companies in the world accountable for their actions.
