Our Advocacy Focus
We support policies like the AI Civil Rights Act to ensure technology serves people—not the other way around.
MEDIA FEATURE
Empowering Future Leaders
Protecting Our Communities
We challenge AI systems that deny people jobs, housing, healthcare, credit, or safety because of biased data or design. We push for strong legal protections against algorithmic discrimination to ensure technology uplifts rather than oppresses historically excluded populations.
Elevating Diverse Tech Leadership
We organize founders, engineers, and innovators from underrepresented backgrounds to brief lawmakers, shape standards, and demonstrate what ethical, community‑centered AI looks like in practice.
Building Transparent, Accountable AI
We promote independent audits, clear notice when AI is used, and the right to a human decision‑maker in high‑stakes decisions.
Educating and Mobilizing
We create accessible trainings, resources, and campaigns so communities of color understand how AI affects their daily lives and are equipped to demand rights‑respecting technology.
Bridging the Gap with Technology
I am Shanena Lewis, a dedicated advocate for Civil Rights Technology and diverse entrepreneurship. My mission is to leverage AI to scale non-profits, empower founders from underrepresented backgrounds, and reduce community violence through innovative curriculum and training.
With a Master's in Organizational Leadership and a background in Criminology and Trauma-Informed Care, I help organizations scale their KPIs using AI while ensuring technology remains a tool for equity, not oppression.
