Today begins Women’s History Month! Consider becoming a charter member of the Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum. Coming March 8: the "first digital exhibition, 'Becoming Visible: Bringing American Women’s History Into Focus,' will introduce you to our work expanding the story of America, by confronting how women’s histories have been recorded and remembered, lost and recovered." https://lnkd.in/gFeYHEMM

I appreciate this theme.

Today is Juneteenth, a pivotal moment in American history marking the end of slavery and celebrating freedom, resilience, and the pursuit of justice. It’s also an opportunity to honor those who continue to champion fairness and equality. One such leader is Dr. Joy Buolamwini, artist, poet of code, and founder of the The Algorithmic Justice League. Joy’s groundbreaking work addresses biases in AI systems, ensuring that technology serves everyone fairly and equitably. Her efforts are critical in our digital age, where technology has the power to shape our lives and societies. Just as Juneteenth symbolizes freedom and hope, the Algorithmic Justice League stands as a beacon for fairness in technology. By tackling these modern-day issues, Joy and her team are continuing the fight for civil rights, advocating for an equitable future for all. Let’s take this day to reflect on our progress and support initiatives that drive justice and equality in every aspect of life, including technology. #AIForAll #TechEquity #Juneteenth

If you're curious about what the University City Science Center does (hint: it's NOT a children's museum!), 🤔 the 2023 Impact Report is a great place to start: https://lnkd.in/g_rXvpnq I helped edit this and it was extremely handy for getting a quick overview of stats, program facts, and understanding who the Science Center helps (and has helped for the past 60 years!).

**Happy Juneteenth! ** Today, we celebrate the end of slavery in the US. It's a day to remember the fight for freedom, the strength of Black communities, and the ongoing pursuit of justice for all. But the fight for equality isn't over. Technology is a huge part of our lives now, and it needs to be fair for everyone.⚖️ That's where people like Dr. Joy Buolamwini come in. She's the founder of the The Algorithmic Justice League, and they're working to make sure AI systems don't discriminate against anyone.✨ Think about it: Technology can shape our opportunities, so it's important it treats everyone equally. Just like Juneteenth represents hope for a just future, Joy's work is a big step towards making that a reality. Let's keep the conversation going! How can we support fairness and equality in technology (and everywhere else)? #Juneteenth #AlgorithmicJustice https://lnkd.in/e2Z5sNX5
