Will be on the lookout! Half way through the book and loving it, esp the chapter on mothering. Thanks for writing this!

West coast plans?

PS

the ep ends with a teaser about a new campaign about EdTech/AI, data extraction, and youth power they are starting, with support from COSPR! Watch this space 😉

Here, SBYC youth organizers share their reflections about what it means to grow up in the SV where the culture of productivity/optimization shapes their relationship to family&school, how they are racialized, and what real youth organizing for building an intergenerational base building looks like 🔥

These are the local conditions for SBYC, an afterschool program for Asian American youth committed to putting people over profit in the SV.

I met SBYC through tech worker organizing as tech workers and SV youth had so much in common in getting politicized thru tech

It's really easy to homogenize "Silicon Valley" as this bastion of tech evil (and it is). But people live here and hold all the contradictions: huge wealth disparity, mixed race composition, complicated migration histories -- all too often overshadowed by the SV and its own self-mythologizing lore.
