Empowering the African Diaspora in a Digital World

Our policy agenda focuses on key areas that will drive the economic and technological empowerment of the African Diaspora. We advocate for policies that ensure equitable access to opportunities in the digital economy and protect the rights of our communities globally.

💰 Crypto and Economic Innovation & Regulatory Clarity

We support the development of clear regulatory frameworks that foster innovation in the cryptocurrency space while protecting consumers. This includes advocating for regulations that provide transparency and stability for digital assets, such as stablecoins, to ensure they can be safely integrated into the broader financial system without stifling innovation.

🌐 Digital and Cyber Equity

Digital access and cybersecurity are critical for ensuring that all members of the African Diaspora can participate in the digital economy. Our agenda promotes policies that close the digital divide and secure cyber infrastructure, ensuring that underserved communities are not left behind in the digital revolution.

🔒 Privacy and Digital Bill of Rights

As data becomes an increasingly valuable asset, we champion the establishment of a Digital Bill of Rights that guarantees privacy and data protection for all individuals. We believe in empowering people with control over their personal information and ensuring transparency in how data is collected, stored, and used.

📚 Digital Upskilling for Vulnerable Communities

To bridge the gap in digital literacy, we advocate for initiatives that provide digital skills training to vulnerable communities. Our focus is on equipping individuals with the tools they need to thrive in a tech-driven economy, ensuring that no one is left behind due to a lack of access to education and resources.

⚖️ Discriminatory and Predatory Practices in E-Commerce

We stand against discriminatory and predatory practices in the digital marketplace that disproportionately affect marginalized communities. Our agenda calls for stronger enforcement of fair trade practices and the creation of policies that protect consumers from exploitation in e-commerce.

💼 The Gig Economy

As the gig economy grows, so do concerns about the rights and protections of gig workers. We support efforts to ensure fair labor practices, including access to benefits and protections that reflect the realities of modern work. Our agenda seeks to balance innovation with the need for worker rights and stability.

🤖 AI’s Impact on Employment

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping the job market, and it is crucial to understand its impact on employment within our communities. We advocate for policies that promote responsible AI development, including measures that mitigate job displacement and ensure that the benefits of AI are shared equitably.
