DO THE KNOWLEDGE + TAKE ACTION

This page is divided into 2 parts: a list of articles & reports compiled by topics + a list of policy-focused organizations that you can get involved.

Why policy-focused orgs? Because our survival as human race depends on electing good politicians and implementing good policies – No exaggeration. Check this, just 100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions and the only way we can keep them in check is via better policies. There’s no federal regulations on facial recognition tech. You know the Feds watching, though. So how do we stop 1984 from becoming reality? You guessed it. Better policies.

So browse the articles and reports below, educate yourself, stay on point, and take action. Feel free to hit us up at info@dtfpost.com if you know an organization or an article that should be added here. (By the way, we have no relationships with the orgs we listed. We just included them here because we thought they’re doing great work).
