  User, Worker, Owner! Bringing Democracy to Work
  
  from Eventbrite
  
  Working in tech is a mix of privilege and pain. Each week, we struggle with how our values fit in our workplaces and platforms. We're a group of tech workers who see how the tech industry shapes our lives and data, and how it is complicit in forms of oppression, including racism, classism, sexism, cisgenderism, homophobia, and xenophobia. We also believe there are alternatives, through equitable ownership and control. That's why we’re organizing "User, Worker, Owner! Bringing Democracy to Work."Come be part of our gathering on May 2 in downtown Oakland. Join people from Tech Workers Coalition, Reflex Design Collective, CoLab.coop, and other groups committed to tech equity. Participants will define problems they face in workplaces and platforms, connect with like-minded peers, and explore strategies to shift ownership and control with an intersectional equity lens. 4:30pm - Doors open5:00pm - Welcome and opening remarks5:15pm - Talks on cooperative alternatives by digital labor researcher Niloufar Salehi, co-op scholar Nathan Schneider, and employee ownership specialist Camille Kerr6:00pm - Pizza from Arizmendi and Lev's Original Kombucha6:15pm - Pitches for simultaneous workshops and group discussions6:30pm - Featured workshop, on how democratic governance works, by Harmonize founder Simon Mont and Reflex Design Collective co-founder Pierce Gordon7:30pm - Reflections from workshops, peer connections7:50pm - Ice cream and closing remarks We'll have light food and drinks.
