<p>Dear All</p>
<p>Wishing you a great 2019!</p>
<p><a href="https://justnetcoalition.org/" target="_blank">Just Net Coalition</a> plans a
meeting between March 25th to 27th in Bangkok as a strategic
get together of groups interested in issues of equity and
social justice in the digital era. The plan is to shape and
take forward a global digital justice agenda, working together
as a network. This is also meant to further develop and
strengthen the Just Net Coalition . The workshop is titled<b>
"Equity and Social Justice in a Digital World: An Inter
Sectoral/ Movements Dialogue for a Digital Justice Agenda". </b></p>
<p>Participants will come from (1) organisations that are
already engaged with digital issues and (2) traditional civil
society groups that have begun to feel the digital impact and
pressure on their work, and would like to understand the
digital better, from a progressive point of view, and
collaborate in developing a global digital justice agenda.
With a digital justice agenda we mean working equally on civil
and political rights side as on social, economic and cultural
rights. A datafied state is a major threat, but so is data
discrimination by the private sector and a big corporation
driven data economy that further concentrates wealth and
power, within and across societies. Social and economic
justice is a key part of this effort, which need to be brought
to the centre stage of digital activism. This is also attempt
to built bridges between digital activism in the geo-political
South and North.<br>
</p>
<p>Participants will mainly be groups that are already engaged
in or with the Just Net Coalition in various ways. But we are
eager to also include groups and people that we may not yet be
in contact or engaged with, but who are eager to work on
social and economic justice issues in a digital context. Such
a commitment should be central to such groups/ people's work
for them to fruitfully work with JNC and its various
partners. <br>
</p>
<p>This email is an outreach to such groups/ people who may want
to engage with us with regard to this initiative of Just Net
Coalition, and possibly work with us on these important
issues. The accent is to work primarily with organisations
because the effort is to develop a strong and sustainable
civil society constituency in this area. However, we are open
to also dialogue with committed individuals with demonstrated
work in these areas. </p>
<p>As mentioned, this is a strategic get together, and
invitation to the meeting is selective, as per various
mentioned criteria. But please do not at all hesitate to ping
us , ask questions or clarifications. We need a lots of us to
work together for social justice in the digital age. <br>
</p>
<p>We would normally expect any additional participant to be
able to self-fund, but in a few select cases we may be able
to offer funding support. <br>
</p>
<p>Since the meeting is not that far off, if you are going to
write to us, please do it asap.</p>
<p>Best regards</p>
