What does (m)otherboard do?

Technological dominance represents an existential threat to our democracy, planet and future generations. Our interventions include collecting narratives that share tech’s true impacts, archiving forgotten histories, and communicating a positive future in service to all life. We also provide infrastructure and a participatory governance model to help our members meet their present needs and opportunities.

A People's History of Tech

A People's History of Tech (APHOT) reframes dominant technological narratives by documenting how diverse communities have experienced, shaped, and resisted technological change.

Responsive Tech Present

We're building responsive, participatory and nimble systems to counter present day tech disruption. This includes tech-enabled participatory governance, rapid response funds, and a growing community of practice to sustain tech justice workers and nurture radical dreaming.

Intergenerational Tech Futures

Collaborating on the future of tech we wish to see across generations. This includes intergenerational gatherings and media projects that lift up kids' perspectives on the present and future of tech.

Your support makes all this possible.
