New Disabled South is committed to ensuring technology serves as a tool for liberation, not oppression.
New Disabled South rejects technochauvinism, technoableism, and effective accelerationism. We are fighting for responsible AI development and environment-friendly use, centering the voices of disabled people to combat the ableism, racism, and other biases embedded in these systems.
We advocate for equitable policies that protect workers from exploitative practices that disable them and ensure disabled people are actively shaping the future of technology.
We oppose the growing threats that AI and other surveillance technologies pose to economic security, workplace safety, and personal liberty.
We believe that everyone deserves access to the assistive technology they need to live full lives, including access to robust Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices.
