In the third iteration of the Plan A tech series, Filip talks to guests RK and Jimmy about the surge in activism and labour activism in the tech sector in the past few years. They tackle the question of where Asian Americans fit in amongst the tech-lash, and why we should care, beyond just the fact that we’re highly represented in this world-affecting industry.Support us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/planamagTWITTER:Filip (@filipgwriting)Jimmy Wu (@jimmyjwu)REFERENCED RESOURCES:Optimize What? by Jimmy Wu at Commune Magazinehttps://communemag.com/optimize-what/Lessons from the Long Sixties for Organizing in Tech by R.K.
