Today, with the United States combating the profound racism and inequality that resulted in the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless others, PeaceTech Lab is taking on its most challenging work yet: “The Road to Equal Justice,” which works to empower U.S. communities with media, technology, and data tools and strategies to accelerate and amplify the fight for equal justice.

Baltimore was the first stop in October and PeaceTech Lab will work in a total of 16 U.S. cities to provide training on ways media, technology and data tools can address social justice issues, including but not limited to:

• Criminal justice reform

• Healing the police-citizen divide

• Fair housing

• Economic justice

• Voting rights

Each PTX workshop will bring together social and community advocates, business leaders, grassroots organizations, local government leaders, and, in some cases, law enforcement working on these issues in each city.

Participants in the workshops will be eligible for grants to develop innovative peacetech projects and scale ongoing work. The series will launch community projects nationwide.

“The Road to Equal Justice” will run in collaboration with PeaceTech Lab’s Global Citizen partner Hogan Lovells and local host organizations. Interested in sponsoring a Road to Equal Justice event? Please contact Tim Receveur tim@peacetechlab.org.
