Technical Communicators for Peace and Justice (tc4pj@comm.cudenver.edu) is a grassroots network of academics and practicioners in the fields of technical communication, human-computer interaction, usability, and information architecture. The inspiration for this list came from the group Rhetoricians For Peace.

tc4pj fosters an environment where participants may:

identify and discuss the ways that technical language, practices, user interfaces, information architectures, and technological artifacts instill ideologies that promote intimidation, conflict, economic disparity, and social inequality
discuss strategies for directing our unique skills to promote civility, social justice and peaceful conflict resolution
network with others dedicated to open inquiry, peace, environmental and social justice

tc4pj is a moderated list. Membership proceeds through list owner approval. The list of participants will be unavailable to the general public. Exceptions to this rule may occur contingent upon violation of policies of the Communication Department at the University of Colorado at Denver (where the list is hosted). Participants who do not engage in civil discussion will be removed from the list. Spam will not be tolerated and will result in immediate removal from the list.
