<p>Dear All</p>
<p>Wishing you a great 2019!</p>
<p><a href="https://justnetcoalition.org/" moz-do-not-send="true">Just
Net Coalition</a> plans a meeting between March 25th to 27th
in Bangkok as a strategic get together of groups interested in
issues of equity and social justice in the digital era. The plan
is to shape and take forward a global digital justice agenda,
working together as a network. This is also meant to further
develop and strengthen the Just Net Coalition . The workshop is
titled<b> "Equity and Social Justice in a Digital World: An
Inter Sectoral/ Movements Dialogue for a Digital Justice
Agenda". </b></p>
<p>Participants will come from (1) organisations that are already
engaged with digital issues and (2) traditional civil society
groups that have begun to feel the digital impact and pressure
on their work, and would like to understand the digital better,
from a progressive point of view, and collaborate in developing
a global digital justice agenda. With a digital justice agenda
we mean working equally on civil and political rights side as on
social, economic and cultural rights. A datafied state is a
major threat, but so is data discrimination by the private
sector and a big corporation driven data economy that further
concentrates wealth and power, within and across societies.
Social and economic justice is a key part of this effort, which
need to be brought to the centre stage of digital activism. This
is also attempt to built bridges between digital activism in the
geo-political South and North.<br>
</p>
<p>Participants will mainly be groups that are already engaged in
or with the Just Net Coalition in various ways. But we are eager
to also include groups and people that we may not yet be in
contact or engaged with, but who are eager to work on social and
economic justice issues in a digital context. Such a commitment
should be central to such groups/ people's work for them to
fruitfully work with JNC and its various partners. <br>
</p>
<p>This email is an outreach to such groups/ people who may want
to engage with us with regard to this initiative of Just Net
Coalition, and possibly work with us on these important issues.
The accent is to work primarily with organisations because the
effort is to develop a strong and sustainable civil society
constituency in this area. However, we are open to also dialogue
with committed individuals with demonstrated work in these
areas. </p>
<p>As mentioned, this is a strategic get together, and invitation
to the meeting is selective, as per various mentioned criteria.
But please do not at all hesitate to ping us , ask questions or
clarifications. We need a lots of us to work together for social
justice in the digital age. <br>
</p>
<p>We would normally expect any additional participant to be able
to self-fund, but in a few select cases we may be able to offer
funding support. <br>
</p>
<p>Since the meeting is not that far off, if you are going to
write to us, please do it asap.</p>
<p>Best regards</p>
