DESCRIPTION:This march is in conjunction with #96hours of direct action to reclaim 
 king's radical legacy.\n\nThis march is an opportunity to open connections 
 between tech equity, diversity, and investing in our communities. We see 
 ongoing redlining in all of our seats of power - banking, wall street, 
 housing, media, but especially internet and tech sector. This a non violent 
 and arrest-free march for anyone who wants a change in the tech world with 
 regards to diversity. This march is a demand for equality in investment, 
 the workplace, open source, hiring, and education at all levels. It will be 
 coordinated with other actions relating to police violence, houselessness, 
 immigration, and gentrification. We believe that our struggles of race and 
 gender equality in tech are deeply connected to other issues that we face 
 in our cities.\n\nWhy we are in the streets:\n* Because folks in mid-market 
 are losing their homes to wealthy tech companies\n* Because Apple Computer 
 refuses and stonewalls to get diversity in their overwhelmingly white upper 
 management\n* Because through tax dodges of tech companies, poor kids in 
 schools San Francisco, East Palo Alto, Oakland and Richmond are locked out 
 of access and opportunity\n* Because there are thousands of silent Ellen 
 Pao's in the Bay Area\n* Because the high tech surveillance state is tied 
 into mass incarceration\n* Because we DEMAND diversity and equity and equal 
 pay in hiring and promotion and entreprenuership!\n* Post your own reason 
 on this event!\n\nIf you are come as a tech worker, this march will also be 
 in solidarity for all other labor being gentrified and jailed and killed by 
 the forces of economic inequality in San Francisco.\n\nWhen: Sunday 17th, 
 4:30pm\n\nWhere: Downtown SF, route TBD; will go by major tech companies 
 and meet with a public concert for mlk actions\n\nBring banners and signs 
 and art projects!\n\nSee also: #96hours of direct action event:
