Thanks @mayorofchicago.bsky.social for helping to kick off this crucial digital equity gathering in Chicago. #NetInclusion
Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson addresses a digital equity conference.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson opening up #NetInclusion 2026, calling out the immorality & fear underlying Trump’s attacks of diversity, equity and digital inclusion — as wealth flows up to Trump’s corrupt friends while people are terrorized by the government and starved of resources.

Delegate promo graphic for Danny R. Peralta with Community Tech New York. Danny's headshot is in front of a southwest desert backdrop with a sunset in the distance. This makes up our delegation we're bringing to the Net Inclusion 2025 conference.
As part of the delegate promo, Danny R. Peralta answered two questions: What digital equity issues are you seeing in your communities? "Misinformation, a lack of true privacy/safety, the rampant adaptation of apps that are designed to make children addicted to them, etc. How can network building exercises lead to meaningful conversations and social cohesion while grounded on principles and the needs and visions of communities?" What does a future of liberated tech and media look like to you? "Ownership. Collectively there needs to be a pivot with the ways we consume and/or share content digital. We cannot keep feeding the objects that end up consuming us. 'For the master's tool will never dismantle the master's house.' - Audre Lorde. Imagine what it would be like if everyone turned off IG, or their twitter account for a day/week/month/year? Who would have the power then? What if we built an alternative that is not based on some racist ideology? Etc. Etc." These answers are on top of a backdrop of a desert sunset overlooking a Southwest setting and cacti.
Danny R. Peralta is the Deputy Director at @communitytechny.bsky.social & one of the 7 delegates we’re bringing to #NetInclusion this week!
We're excited to connect with change-makers in the #DigitalInclusion space & ignite change for the future of #DigitalEquity.
