The tech industry is rewriting the rules. Who's actually on your side?
Tech companies shape your electricity bill, your workplace, your feed, and now your government. Over $100 million in tech-aligned money is flowing into 2026 races, which will determine whether AI proliferates unregulated, workers' rights are trampled, and surveillance continues to expand and encroach on our lives.
Progressive means putting working people's interests ahead of corporate targets. In tech policy, that could mean breaking up concentrations of power, enhanced rights for workers being replaced by machines, and an end to surveillance as a business model. This tool maps where the 2026 progressive slate has done substantive work on those issues, and where there are gaps to fill.
