About

Palante Technology provides tech consulting services to progressive nonprofit, social justice, activist and community organizations. Our clients have a wide range of missions, constituencies, structures, and budgets. Through this work we've developed a deep understanding of nonprofit tech needs. We have also been long involved with activism and organizing in non-technological capacities, including involvement with many of our client organizations. This breadth of experience allows Palante Tech to provide services that are tailored to meet the specialized needs of nonprofit community organizations.

We frequently collaborate with other web developers, graphic designers, and techies, including Jamila Khan, Fureigh, Framling Group, Daniel Kahn Gillmor, Jamie Stafford-Hill, and Emily North. We pool our collective experience and skill sets to do the best job possible for our clients.

Our Name

Palante (also spelled pa'lante) is a contraction of the Spanish words "para," or "towards," and "adelante," or "forward." The word was a slogan and rallying cry of the Young Lords, a U.S.-based Puerto Rican liberation movement of the 1960s and 70s. You can find out more about the Young Lords here and here.
