Editor's Notes

At Technical.ly, this June happened to already be designated Racial Equity in Tech Month of our 2020 editorial calendar. We’re shifting that a bit: Now it’s simply Racial Equity Month.

 

We’ll still cover the work being done to increase access and representation for people who have been historically left out of local tech economies, but more broadly, we’ll be considering how racism affects our everyday lives, and the systems that make it so. Read our first stories here — and send story ideas here.
