This Facebook campaign galvanised 175,000+ of us to sign a petition calling for change. 175,000+ people committed to shaping tech for good! *** ACTION: Support our ThunderClap: http://bit.ly/unitedcitizensthunderclap *** Now it’s time to take the next step, by building a global union of citizens to hold technology to account. That’s a huge undertaking, but everything good must start from somewhere. And it starts with you. Here’s the proposition: First, we have a conversation with people around the world, to find out the biggest problem caused by tech that we collectively want to address. Listening and learning is simple, but isn’t done enough. This is our chance to do just that. Second, we build a Global Agenda, created by citizens, to represent our interests. Think of it like the SDGs, but focused on tech, and built by us. Then we act. Then we change things. To take the first step, we will run a global inquiry to hear from citizens all over the world. Are you with me? Do you want to get involved? If the answer is yes, here’s what you can do: ***ACTION: Help us spread the word about our inquiry by signing up to our ThunderClap: http://bit.ly/unitedcitizensthunderclap *** It all starts next Monday.
