Open MIC works to foster greater corporate accountability in the deployment and use of digital technologies.
Our primary tools are shareholder engagement and other finance-focused strategies. Working with impact investors, Open MIC (Open Media and Information Companies Initiative) identifies, develops and supports campaigns that promote values of openness, equity, privacy, and diversity – values that provide long-term benefits for individuals, companies, the economy and the health of democratic society.
Current Open MIC initiatives include racial and gender diversity in the tech workforce; algorithmic accountability; hate speech and media manipulation; net neutrality; and online privacy. We are currently working on campaigns that target Alphabet, Meta and Microsoft.
