Digital equity dynamos and drivers: let's talk

It's June, which means that we at Technical.ly have officially kicked off Racial Equity in Tech Month. Throughout this month, we'll be making a point to cover issues of equity in the tech ecosystem, as well as the organizations and people working to combat those persistent disparities in Baltimore.
 
This newsletter features a story about 10 organizations doing such work, but we know they're not the only ones. So, we ask all of you: What digital equity-concerned stories should we be covering? Whom should we profile? What programs are making a difference? What are the major issues surrounding digital equity that need to be addressed in Baltimore?
 
Let us know by replying to this email or sending a note to , anytime.
