Black people face a two-edged sword in the tech field: exclusion from leadership roles and exploitation in low-wage jobs. โš”๏ธ Black people hold only 4% of executive roles, locking us out of critical decisions that will affect our communities, but make up 25% of warehouse jobs, which are governed by dehumanizing AI systems that can fire workers or manipulate wages without human oversight. Technology should empower workers, not erase their dignity. We need: 1) Strong labor protections for gig workers ๐Ÿ”ง 2) Transparent AI systems in the workplace ๐Ÿค 3) Pathways to leadership for employees ๐Ÿ“ˆ 4) Corporate accountability for discriminatory practices โš–๏ธ This is why Color Of Change launched the #BlackTechAgenda, to advocate for dignity, equity, and power for Black workers in the tech-driven economy. If youโ€™re a gig worker, your story matters, and we want to hear it! Sharing your experience working for companies like Uber, DoorDash, and Instacart can help us advocate for solutions that matter...
