Resources

The DDJC and its member organizations are committed to creating and distributing open source resources that can support other communities to organize around the digital justice principles.

The DDJC Zine Series explores communication as a fundamental human right, demystifies concepts like “Open Data” and offers how-to guidance on producing Discovering Technology Fairs (aka DiscoTechs).

TheDDJC Toolkits Collection includes digital literacy guides, community technology curriculum, and other resources that have grown out of the DDJC’s work since 2010.
