“Justice… is not a static value but an ongoing methodology that can and should be incorporated into tech design. For this reason, too, it is vital that people engaged in tech development partner with those who do important sociocultural work honing narrative tools through the arts, humanities, and social justice organizing.”
― Ruha Benjamin, Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code
