Devland Innovation

AutonomousLA was inspired by the groundbreaking work of BLD PWR and their liberation focused work challenging and opposing systemic harms. Technology has historically been leveraged against BIPOC communities but when incorporated in our own innovations possesses the force to create solutions for climate response, environmental justice, community action and safety.

This series was created as an Impact and Design Initiative to support the next generation of technical innovation as a tool to overcome systemic forces of oppression, environmental harm, and biases embedded in emerging technology.

By hosting community conversation and design driven hackathons, we seek to enable intersection of critical functions of the local ecosystem e.g. designers, technologists, activists, investors, big thinkers, and community members who are bullish about real change.
