Our Future Is Science allows its members to think from a different perspective and find the multiple connections between STEM and social justice. Therefore, the social justice implications of AI are an important and pressing issue that must be addressed to ensure that this technology's benefits are shared fairly and equitably across society. By recognizing the potential for bias and discrimination in AI systems and by taking steps to address these issues, we can help to create a more just and inclusive society. Through greater transparency, accountability, and community engagement, we can work together to build a future where AI is used to promote social justice and equality.

Westchester County, NY is facing a crisis as many residents have sewage flooding inside of their homes. The sewage problem in Mount Vernon began in late 2021 when the city’s sewage infrastructure started to fail. The city’s sewer lines, which are about 100 years old, were no longer able to handle the volume of sewage produced by city residents. This problem led to an overflow of sewage, backups, and leaks that seeped into the homes and businesses across the city of Mount Vernon. The smell of sewage is understandably unbearable in some areas, and has led to property damage, and increase in rodent and insect infestations, and exposure to health hazards. This is inherently a public health crisis, which has led to residents experiencing significant health issues, such as skin rashes, asthma, and other respiratory problems.
