About #EngineersShowUp
Changing Cultures of Oppression in Engineering
We want to challenge the stereotype of the apathetic engineer and show up in solidarity with one another to challenge inequitable cultures in engineering. We want to show the world that #engineersshowup against racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, and other forms of oppression. We want to focus our actions on resisting systemic injustice. See the linked JEE guest editorial to learn more, or visit the movement website.
