DWeb Meetup Nov 2021 — Centering Respect, Trust and Equity in the DWeb

DWeb

At our next DWeb Meetup, envision a DWeb built upon the foundation of mutual respect, trust & equity. What do you think that would be like?

What would it mean to build a new decentralized web centered on the values of respect, trust and equity? That's the question we posed to <a href="https://twitter.com/martabelcher" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a><a href="https://twitter.com/CoralineAda" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Coraline Ada Ehmke</a>, a leader of the ethical source movement &amp; founder of the <a href="https://ethicalsource.dev/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Organization for Ethical Source</a>. In her powerful essay "<a href="https://blog.archive.org/2021/09/03/the-sacred-geometry-of-respect-trust-and-equity/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">The Sacred Geometry of Respect, Trust and Equity,</a>" Ehmke suggests a new way forward. She challenges us to go beyond a begrudging nod to leveling the playing field. “To effect meaningful change, those whose authority and privilege are sustained by inequity must yield power and distribute agency to those who are most impacted by systemic disparities.”In this talk, we'll explore how centering the values of mutual respect, trust, and equity can help us address the challenges of promoting justice and human rights in the code we create.Come hear Ehmke explore the nuances of <a href="https://getdweb.net/principles" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">third DWeb Principle</a> of Mutual Respect at our November DWeb Meetup, Thursday, November 4, at 5 PM PDT.
