For years, civil and digital rights organizations and researchers have raised concerns about racial bias within technology and how it perpetuates discriminatory harms on marginalized communities.\n“Big Tech must face the consequences for disregarding racial equity and continuing to exploit Black communities and employees.\nIn order to adequately address racial bias in technology, Alphabet Inc. must conduct a comprehensive racial equity audit using vetted framework that has been proven to produce real solutions, rather than a framework developed by compromised consultants and corporate law firms.\nColor Of Change commends Senators Booker, Wyden, Warner, Blumenthal and Markey in their efforts to rein in the power of the tech industry.\nIn 2018, Booker secured a commitment from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg -- for the first time -- to conduct a civil rights audit at Facebook.
