Hi Infrared - Sorry for cross posting!

We are launching our membership meeting next Tuesday at 2:00 PM NY time 
and our initial session is open to the public, so you are welcome to 
attend whether or not you are a member. We will be hearing from two May 
First members on the topic of technology's role in war: Global 
Grassroots Justice Alliance <https://ggjalliance.org/> (based in the US) 
and Tadamun Antimili <https://tadamunantimili.org/>Collective (based in 
Colombia). The session will be live interpreted in both English and 
Spanish. See below for details. Hope you can make it. And please feel 
free to spread the word.

Please register

----------------------
We invite you to the first sharing session of our 2026 membership 
meetings to be held on Tuesday, April 14 at 12pm (Mexico City) / 2pm 
(New York). This discussion is in webinar format, and anyone interested 
is welcome to participate, even if they are not members of May First.

The technology companies that host large volumes of data and mediate 
everyday communications are the same ones that provide infrastructure to 
armies, fund mass surveillance systems and develop artificial 
intelligence to optimize remote bombing. In today's wars, military AI 
decides targets, predicts threats and automates violence. The tech 
giants - Amazon, Google, Microsoft - have signed defense contracts worth 
billions of dollars. And now these tech facilities have become war 
targets, a sign that the global movement is beginning to recognize that 
technological infrastructure is also war infrastructure

At May First we want to think collectively about this scenario and its 
implications for those of us who build autonomous technologies in the 
service of social movements. How do we sustain emancipatory digital 
tools when the ecosystem in which we operate finances repression? To 
open the dialogue we will be joined by Tadamun Antimili Collective and 
Grassroots Global Justice Alliance.
