Decolonizing the Algorithm: The Coalition Leading the Charge for Justice in AI

Oye, mira. Let’s talk about something revolutionary.

We are at a turning point in history—a moment where technology is no longer just an invisible force driving our daily lives but a powerful tool that has the potential to liberate or oppress. Enter The Decolonial Algorithmic Coalition (DAC) , a movement built by visionaries, technologists, activists, and scholars who believe that technology must serve all people equitably, not just those who hold the power to build it.

I’m Christian Ortiz, and I’m leading a coalition of experts and active community members who simply want to make the world a better place. Our vision goes beyond a better world—it’s about a radically just and equitable one. We believe that decolonizing AI is not just possible—it’s necessary.

?? Who We Are: The Decolonial Algorithmic Coalition (DAC)

DAC is more than just another organization; it’s a movement. It’s a collective of passionate changemakers driven by a simple yet powerful goal: to decolonize AI systems. But what does that mean? At its core, it’s about dismantling the embedded biases and colonial legacies that have turned technology into a tool of oppression for many marginalized communities.

Our mission is clear: leverage decolonial frameworks and algorithmic justice to ensure that technology serves as a force for liberation, not control. And we're not just talking about change—we're actively building it. We’re creating spaces where technology can empower communities rather than exploit them.

Building a Global Movement: Workshops, Articles, and Beyond

From hands-on workshops that break down the complexities of AI for grassroots activists to in-depth newsletters and articles that shed light on the hidden biases in our technology, DAC is committed to educating billions on the importance of decoloniality.

We believe that education is the most powerful tool for change, and that’s why we’re doubling down on our community initiatives, both online and offline. Whether it's hosting global webinars, community-led data projects, or hands-on training for policymakers, we’re laying the groundwork for a future where everyone has a seat at the table.

And yes, we’re taking on the challenge of educating the masses on what it means to decolonize not just technology, but our entire worldview. Because real change doesn’t happen in isolation—it requires a global coalition of informed, empowered individuals ready to challenge the status quo.

?? Justice AI and the DIA Framework: Tools for Transformation

Now, let’s talk about our secret weapon: Justice AI and the Decolonial Intelligence Algorithmic (DIA) Framework . Together, they are revolutionizing how we approach AI, data, and technology.

Justice AI isn’t just another chatbot; it’s an ethical AI framework designed to challenge biases, uplift marginalized voices, and transform how organizations approach technology. With the DIA Framework, we’re developing systems that don’t just acknowledge the legacies of colonialism—they actively work to dismantle them.

By auditing existing AI systems for bias and developing new, equitable algorithms, we’re ensuring that no community is left behind. Because, let’s face it, tech has been too focused on profit and too disconnected from the people it claims to serve.

?? The Future is Decolonial: What’s Next for DAC

The work we’re doing isn’t just about AI—it’s about reimagining our future. A future where technology is developed with the input and leadership of the communities most affected by its impacts.

DAC is here to ensure that marginalized voices aren’t just heard—they are at the center of every conversation about technology. Whether it’s pushing for legislative reforms, collaborating with organizations like the Algorithmic Justice League, or partnering with Indigenous AI collectives, we’re committed to ensuring that the future of tech is truly inclusive.

We’re just getting started. With the power of community, technology, and decoloniality, we’re building momentum. Our workshops are growing, our coalition is expanding, and our message is resonating across the globe.

??? Join the Movement: Be Part of the Change

If you believe in a world where technology serves all of us, not just the privileged few—we need you. Whether you’re an activist, a technologist, an educator, or simply someone who cares about justice, there’s a place for you in the DAC.

Let’s challenge the systems that have oppressed for too long. Let’s build technology that liberates. Let’s reimagine what’s possible when equity, justice, and decoloniality are at the forefront.

The Decolonial Algorithmic Coalition is more than a movement—it’s a revolution. And together, we can transform the world.
