Your Call: How will tech resist Donald Trump?

 

How are tech workers planning to resist Donald Trump?

While top tech executives met with Donald Trump last month, thousands of tech workers were signing on to neveragain.tech. It’s a pledge to refuse to build databases of people based on their Constitutionally-protected religious beliefs. The pledge says, “Today we stand together to say: not on our watch, and never again.”

What actions will the tech sector take to resist Trump? If you work in tech, what are you planning?

Guests:

Valerie Aurora, co-organizer of neveragain.tech and a diversity and inclusion consultant at Frame Shift Consulting

Rainey Reitman, activism director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation
