The dominant digital debate is often shaped by “tech bro” imaginaries and practices. However, long-standing Latin American traditions of solidarity economy and community tech offer alternative paths. This talk shares the collective journey of the Worker-Owned Intersectional Platforms (WOIP) project, which brought together tech and delivery workers from Argentina and Brazil as co-researchers. Participating organizations include Alternativa Laboral Trans, the Argentine Federation of Tech Cooperatives, the Tech Sector of Brazil’s Homeless Workers’ Movement and Señoritas Courier. Rather than promoting idealized models of platform cooperativism, the talk highlights how worker collectives are confronting concrete political, technical, and organizational challenges. It discusses the differences between Argentina’s institutionalized cooperative tradition and Brazil’s strengths in political mobilization; how intersectional frameworks are translated into tech development and labor organizing; and how concepts such as digital sovereignty and trans technologies are enacted within organizations. The session also explores principles such as intercooperation and “care before code” as foundations for worker-led tech governance. The talk concludes with policy recommendations for fostering a global ecosystem of worker-led technologies. These experiences show us how technologies can be governed from below, even amid ongoing dependencies on Big Tech infrastructures.
