About Event

Are you tired of the collective imaginaries being shaped by the techno-oligarchs? Do you want to suspend your disbelief for few hours and imagine an alternative? We will be reading Ruha Benjamin's "Imagination: A Manifesto" to help us get unstuck as "imagination is a field of struggle, not an ephemeral afterthought that we have the luxury to dismiss or romanticize".

For this meeting we will be discussing the Chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4. Please read these texts prior to attending the meeting and bring refreshments or snacks to share with the group!

This event is open to everyone who's interested in learning more about labour organizing! You do not have to be a tech worker or be part of TWC Canada to participate.

What is TWC?

Tech Workers Coalition a chapter-based, all-volunteer, and worker-led organization for tech workers around the world. We believe that a tech worker is anyone who is involved in the production and maintenance of digital technology, whether you are a bike courier working at a food delivery app service, a designer, a software engineer, a product owner, a data labeller or a content moderator.

Guided by a vision for an inclusive & equitable tech industry, TWC builds worker power through rank & file self-organization and education.

The Canadian chapter of TWC is clustered in and around Toronto, but we also host virtual events and we want to reach tech workers around the country. If you are interested in joining the book club remotely, register for a ticket and let us know in the comments so we can make arrangements!
