The Algorithmic Justice League (AJL), a project led by Civic Media alum Joy Buolamwini, has won an Award of Distinction in the Digital Communities category of Prix Ars Electronica 2020.
"Community can be a force of social change and the submitted projects here —often initiated by art and/or activist groups or communities—not only address a whole range of social, humanitarian, political, environmental, and cultural issues, but also inspire collective action and change, helping us see the world through a different lens and understand the importance and power of public participation, collaboration, human connection, and shared vision. It can enable the imagination and potential of different society models, as well as economic and social systems based on solidarity and equality."
