Welcome to Pocketbook Protest!
“Enhancing lives through digital empowerment.”
At Pocketbook Protest, our mission is to use technology to affect social change. It’s about more than just closing the digital divide. It’s about making sure that future generations have the opportunities to succeed and thrive in America’s increasingly digital economy, opportunities that our parents and forefathers could only dream about. It’s about charting a new path, and ensuring that no child gets left behind because he or she did not have the opportunity or the resources to get online.
Pocketbook Protest is about confronting the status quo. We strive to ask questions about, and examine the ways in which, technology and digital innovation can help us:
Educate and empower ourselves regarding the issues facing our communities and our nation;
“Re-image” the way minorities are depicted by mainstream media and reinforce positive cultural themes through innovative “new media” methods; and
Advance our social, political and economic agendas in the most efficient manner possible.
