Short Definition
Groups or communities actively pursuing equity, advocating for fair treatment, opportunities, and access. They seek to address the systemic inequalities that disproportionately impact marginalized people and work toward social justice and fairness.
Relevance
Equity-seeking groups strive for fair access to opportunities and resources. In tech, this means creating inclusive systems that prioritize historically exploited communities, ensuring that digital tools and platforms are designed with care and reduce existing inequalities. However, achieving equity requires active dismantling of oppressive structures, not just inclusion.
