With mass layoffs, worker exploitation, and the rise of techno-fascism, it’s more important than ever to push for ethical workplaces, AI safety, job security, and corporate accountability. Join us in demanding a future where our labor benefits workers and society—not just the wealthy.

Get involved with CODE-CWA to help build worker power in tech.

fear of further public image damage=leverage
fear of boycotts from producers=leverage
contact list of motivated producers that might help with future actions=leverage
