About the Justice Producer’s Collaborative
The Justice Produces Collaborative (JPC) gathers in three virtual spaces: Cultivation Calls, Organizing Calls,and the Discord server. We like to imagine it as a community garden. JPC holds synchronous (cultivation calls and organizing calls) and asynchronous connective space (Discord server) so Justice producers can tend our community garden in a way that reflects our shared power and decision-making.

AlgoSpeak Discourse
Summary of the AlgoSpeak Discourse: Hank Green, also known as William Henry Green II, is a prominent white male cis-gender American figure with multiple roles, including vlogger, science communicator, entrepreneur, author, internet producer, and musician. In a video, Green expressed the opinion that algo-speak, a set of coded language choices, is unnecessary for creators on TikTok. Algo-speak involves using specific phrases to avoid content removal or down-ranking by moderation systems. For example, users might say “unalive” instead of “dead,” use “SA” instead of “sexual assault,” or employ gestures to replace explicit terms.
