Transparency & Accountability disrupting PERSONAL

Making clear how the system works 

Transparency and accountability allow for the clarity needed to navigate and resist opaque, oppressive systems. By making individual rights and system responsibilities explicit, individuals are empowered to hold systems accountable.

This can look like:

  • Driving transparency in how the system works so rights are understood
  • Creating clarity so we understand how to access and navigate systems

Consider:

  • How do we push against system jargon?
  • How do we empower people to access what they need from systems?
