• Join a union (if you’re in a country where you won’t get fired for thinking about it)
• Have uncomfortable conversations with colleagues and friends in industry that you trust about important issues
• Educate yourself; consider it another thing that’s as essential as being up to date on the latest framework or methodology
• Network with others who care about these issues
• Mentor and sponsor marginalised people
• Either get good at compiling arguments in a “non-combative” way or get comfortable with being the annoying or even rude one. The former is existentially annoying but keeping a veneer of “professionalism” and lack of perceived aggression often helps your argument, even if the problem is egregious and you are justified in being angry
• Support organisations already doing the work, ones that are lobbying the government or providing alternative infrastructure
• Vote with your feet, be honest in an exit interview about why you are leaving
