The news from global politics isn’t promising, but we can respond by dedicating ourselves to what we believe in. Costanza Chock’s Design Justice offers essential guidelines. Let’s work towards a fairer, more inclusive future. @schockolatl @mitpress

Our state of denial of the role of cars
The normalisation of crashes must stop Pt.2

"These policies have promoted car-based infrastructure and urban sprawl. Public transport and active transport such as walking and cycling have been neglected.
Children are the victims of our obsession with allowing heavy, fast-moving vehicles in our everyday spaces, including around schools.

The freedom of car drivers comes at the expense of the freedom of all others. At the same time, the environment and society bear most of the costs of this car culture.
It’s essentially a form of victim blaming. Instead of reducing the source of violence, we tell everybody to be more careful around it.

We need to recognise that the car threatens children’s safety and their right to independently roam public spaces. This directly threatens their long-term health and wellbeing.

Car drivers’ rights are not more important than children’s rights to be safe on our streets. The interests of those who oppose measures such as reduced car parking or lower speed limits should not be more important than our children’s wellbeing. No benefit of a pro-car policy can be greater than the benefit of children’s active presence in public spaces, where they have a right to be imperfect and distracted."

A UX #designjustice nightmare with extremely high stakes for asylum-seekers is unfolding on the border as the restrictions of Title 42 are replaced with the unforgiving code of CBP One, a smartphone app for making point of entry interview appointments that fails to include some migrants' languages, assigns appointments to individuals instead of families, and requires live photos while failing to recognize the facial features of those with darker skin.

Unser Projekt molo.news geht in die 2. Phase: dank des VIP+ Programms des @bmbf_bund können wir am @zemki der @unibremen, dem Leibniz Institut für Medienforschung HBI und der ‪@unileipzig‬ testen, ob unsere Plattform für lokale News auch deutschlandweit funktioniert. Wir starten neben Bremen und Leipzig in 4 weiteren Klein- und Mittelstädten und mit vielen großartigen Ideen. #Pionierjournalismus #Lokaljournalismus #PlatformCoop #DesignJustice Mehr Infos: uni-bremen.de/zemki/detailansi
