I'm an educated(M.S.), full time working, CIS, male, hetero, minority. Doesn't my voice contribute to diversity too?
A fund that dispersed compensation to people in a way that properly reflects the diversity of this country would be more fair. Tech companies and their workers do not represent the diversity of this country. That's all I'm saying.
Specify part-time working minorities was probably a little too specific, but these people represent a large portion of the population and I don't know how one is supposed to participate in politics when one is having trouble making rent.
Again, I think the intentions are good but the execution has unconsidered side effects.
In other words, I believe we should laud all attempts to build a culture of civic engagement, no matter what your political beliefs are or your personal background. The next step is to help find ways for that civic engagement to be generally helpful rather than harmful.
full disclosure: i work at one of the companies named on this proposal
Don't people who work part time already have time to do civic engagement?
Paying for them to do so would have the effect of amplifying their voice at the expense of others.
