Tech’s not fair. We need TECH JUSTICE.
Main Content
Imagine a world where technology serves everyone.
… a world where technology liberates and restores…
We live in a world based on oppression and exploitation. Where people and the Earth suffer through inequity, bias and discrimination. The way technology is designed and run perpetuates this system.
Why tech’s not fairThis website now stands as a record of Catalyst CIC’s work to catalyse change in that system, offered as a legacy for others to see and learn from.
…where communities have the power to shape the tech that impacts them.
Between 2024-26 we worked to build collective power to make tech fair for everyone. We brought together those negatively affected by technology and others who care. We amplified their voices. We challenged the status quo.
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.
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.

Hera Hussain, Chayn – network member
“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
