Just realizing now that there's an excellent panel from @VinhcentLe and @thecxphan from @Greenlining about community investment & AI, specifically with a focus on the Town (Oakland!!).

I'm not sure if this session is being recorded, but this is a great talk about working with local communities & grassroots CBOs. I've seen a lot of people at the conference ask about how to engage marginalized communities, and I'd like to point folks towards this session!
I wish I live tweeted this session, because there's a ton of good stuff here around being thorough with picking trusted community partners to work with (and what that process entailed) and being thoughtful / responsible with the trust & privacy of community members.
Lots of take-aways from the session, such as the fact that communities *do* care! Even if orgs were reluctant at first, after learning more about the digital divide, they wanted to become more engaged (esp with policy). & gotta give agency to community members & what they want.
I heard a great question at a previous CRAFT about exactly this -- what process to take to connect and engage with vulnerable community to better serve them, and what the Greenlining folks did was exactly that, right here in Oakland. Please do check out their work!
