Unfortunately, there's a gigantic blind spot: the politicians supported by the tech community tend to be, despite occasional rhetorical nods, extremely bad on criminal justice issues. People are nevertheless reluctant to criticize "their team," so instead hideous injustices like the ones described in this article, or the milking of low-income minorities for fines and penalties in towns like Ferguson, Missouri, just sort of... happen, and the blame is directed towards vague targets like "cops" or "the system" or "racism" or "America" instead of the politicians who are currently in office and either letting the situation fester or actively making it worse. This isn't to say that most alternative politicians are better, of course, but the only voice you truly have in a democracy is to vote the bastards out. And keep voting them out year after year until the survivors finally get the idea.
