"My first cell phone was the Nokia 3310. I got it in 1999, and I remember being so excited for Snake and texting, lol. I loved the size and heaviness of the phones back then, because due to my disability and limited dexterity, they were so much easier to hold and they NEVER broke... this is true. And I can't say the same for iPhones in 2024."

Transform the tech industry from inside.

Collective Action School has a grassroots theory of change. We believe the people who make the tech industry run—its workers—have the power to not only transform it, but to build and imagine new technologies. They welcome all tech workers—whether you’re a project manager, warehouse worker, software engineer, or ride share driver.
