Public Knowledge has the pleasure of inviting you to a multifaceted program focused on training and developing the next generation of tech policy experts and public interest advocates that reflects the diversity of voices and experiences in our society.
Please join us for our monthly Career Breakfast Series. This event is designed specifically for students and recent graduates of color, offering insights into tech policy and public interest careers, and providing a platform for individuals from underrepresented backgrounds. This time you will have the opportunity to have a great conversation with Amina Fazlullah.
Amina Fazlullah is the Head of Tech Advocacy Policy in Common Sense Media’s D.C. office. She works on various issues, including expanding safe, affordable access to technology, digital literacy, online privacy, platform responsibility, and artificial intelligence. She has worked closely with policymakers and academics to explore changes to Section 230, updates to telecommunications, and consumer protection laws to protect children as they use technology. During her time with Common Sense, she helped draft and introduce legislation to fund access to broadband and digital literacy (EBB, ECF, ACP, and DEA), curb the use of dark patterns (DETOUR Act), update children’s online privacy (COPPA 2.0), address social media harms (KIDS Act, KOSA), and pass funding for longitudinal research into the impact of media and technology on children (CAMRA).
Before joining Common Sense Media, Amina was a tech policy fellow at Mozilla, where she worked to promote broadband connectivity and digital safety training in underserved communities (tribal, rural, and refugee communities) worldwide. She has testified before the U.S. House and Senate committees on technology issues impacting vulnerable consumers, kids, and families. She has been featured by the press and at conferences on broadband competition, artificial intelligence, Section 230, the digital divide, and dark patterns. She has published multiple research reports about the scale, cost, and solutions for addressing the digital divide and ensuring digital equity. She is a member of the FCC’s Consumer Advisory Committee and served as a founding board member of the National Digital Inclusion Alliance.
