Home - tech justice network Catalyst CIC

…where communities have the power to shape the tech that impacts them.

We’re building collective power to make tech fair for everyone. We bring together those negatively affected by technology and others who care. We amplify their voices. We challenge the status quo.

What we do

It’s going to take all of us

We’re a network of people both privileged by and harmed by technology. We imagine a different world… where equity is a reality and no one misses out on tech’s benefits.

Who we are

From edge to centre

We prioritise the expertise of people with lived experience of violence, inequity, oppression, and trauma. Those pushed to the margins. Those most harmed by technology.

How we work

“Catalyst stands out by putting social justice front and centre – there’s a real sense of principle and integrity.”

Andy Curtis, Paul Hamlyn Foundation – network member
