About
Civil rights reporting for A.I. access, disability dignity, and public accountability in Humboldt County.
Humboldt Includes is a local civil rights reporting project documenting what happens when disabled people, neurodivergent people, artists, workers, students, patients, consumers, or community members are pressured, harassed, threatened, excluded, or financially targeted because they use A.I. as assistive technology.
For some people, A.I. is not a shortcut. It can be a communication aid, learning aid, organization aid, creative access tool, work support tool, care-planning support, or a bridge into culture and community participation.
When technology helps a disabled person communicate, work, learn, create, organize care, or access public life, the issue becomes bigger than an opinion about technology. It can become an access, equality, and civil rights issue.
Humboldt Includes does not decide whether every report is a legal violation. We document facts, preserve source materials, identify patterns, and encourage people to save evidence.
Reports may involve disability discrimination, retaliation, exclusion from public services or businesses, blocked access to assistive tools, threats, harassment, hate incidents, hate crimes, or demands for money connected to disability access or creative work.
Our approach is investigative and evidence-based. We separate allegations from confirmed facts. We look for screenshots, messages, dates, times, names, locations, witnesses, public records, and records of exclusion or retaliation.
When publication is appropriate, we aim to use careful language, avoid unnecessary harm, give people a fair chance to respond when serious allegations identify them, correct errors, and distinguish reporting from opinion.
This project is not a law firm, court, public agency, emergency service, or substitute for reporting crimes to law enforcement. Nothing on this site is legal advice.
If someone is in immediate danger, they should contact emergency services. If someone believes their civil rights were violated, they may also contact the appropriate civil rights agency, attorney, advocate, public agency, or law enforcement office.
Humboldt Includes exists because access matters. Disabled people should not be shamed, bullied, segregated, excluded, or threatened for using tools that help them participate in work, care, art, education, culture, and community life.
Support A.I. access. Support disability equality. Support responsible, greener, more inclusive technology.
