About Upturn

Upturn advances equity and justice in the design, governance, and use of technology. We believe technology should advance justice, not amplify racial, economic, and social inequities. Without focused attention, technology can reinforce systemic injustices found everywhere in our society. We drive policy changes by combining rigorous research with deliberate advocacy. Our approach to technology and justice is informed by a broad range of perspectives and experiences, including computer science, social science, law, and policy. We strive to ground our work in community and lived experiences. We partner with a strong and growing network of local and national advocates, litigators, organizers, academics, and policymakers to ensure that our work together is grounded, collaborative, and actionable. Upturn is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Washington, DC.

Founded in 2011 by Rod Ebrahimi.
