The drafting of the Feminist Data Manifest-No was led by Marika Cifor (University of Washington) and Patricia Garcia (University of Michigan). In addition to their efforts, the first complete draft is the collective labour of T.L. Cowan (University of Toronto); Jasmine Rault (University of Toronto); Tonia Sutherland (University of Hawai’i at Mānoa); Anita Say Chan (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign); Jennifer Rode (University College London); Anna Lauren Hoffmann (University of Washington); Niloufar Salehi (University of California, Berkeley); and Lisa Nakamura (University of Michigan). The result of their shared thinking, the Manifesto-No is a set of declarations and commitments for feminist data studies. Situating their work within a long genealogy of feminist thinking and praxis, following Ruha Benjamin, they drafted the Manifest-No as a way to “remember to imagine and craft the worlds you cannot live without, just as you dismantle the worlds you cannot live within.”
