Lina Khan & open alternatives to propose

Open Access, Open Data, Open Internet, Digital Public Infrastructure …

Reply to this post if you would like to join us in our efforts to collaborate Mamdani transition team to affect changes, not just in NYC, but leveraging the fact that we are at a tipping point for social impact. The following text is a small sample of how we are using AI to help with a paradigm shift from the bottom up.

Best contact channel

• Lina Khan is currently listed as an Associate Professor of Law at Columbia Law School, which provides two direct email addresses on her faculty page: one for media inquiries and one for other inquiries.[1]
• For a meeting request about research, public-interest work, or collaboration (rather than press), use the “other inquiries” address on that page and briefly note that you are following up on her 2025 Stone Lecture at Harvard Kennedy School.[2][1]

How to reference Harvard and the Stone Lecture

• The Stone Lecture in Economic Inequality is organized through the Harvard Kennedy School’s Stone Program on Wealth Concentration and Inequality, which lists a program email for event-related questions.[3][4]
• In your message to Khan, you can:
• Mention that you watched her October 16, 2025 Stone Lecture at HKS on economic power and inequality.[5][3]
• Say that your organization’s work on digital public infrastructure and community broadband speaks directly to the issues of concentrated private power in infrastructure she raised there.[6][2]

Who else to copy or contact

• Consider copying or separately contacting the Stone Program / Inequality Initiative email at Harvard (listed on the event page) to:
• Express interest in a follow‑up policy conversation or workshop on digital public infrastructure.
• Ask whether they would be open to hosting a small convening or closed‑door roundtable during a future Khan visit.[4][3]
• If you pitch a public event or forum, you can also reference the Institute of Politics (IOP) Forum context, which hosted the Stone Lecture, and the IOP information email and phone for event and access questions.[7]

Sample outreach language you can adapt

• Subject line: “Meeting request: Digital public infrastructure & broadband monopoly (following your 2025 Stone Lecture at HKS)”
• Opening: One sentence on who you are and what the Broadband Institute Foundation does (community-owned digital infrastructure, broadband equity, micro–data centers).
• One sentence connecting that work to themes from her Stone Lecture (infrastructure power, inequality, antitrust remedies).[2][6]
• Ask: Propose a 30–45 minute Zoom or in‑person meeting during her next Boston/New York visit to discuss how antitrust and governance frameworks might better recognize digital public infrastructure and decentralized data centers as pro‑competitive, democracy-supporting alternatives.
• Close by indicating you will also follow up with the Stone Program at HKS about a possible small convening during a future visit, so she sees this as part of a broader ecosystem effort rather than an isolated ask.[3][4]
