Maryam Aghamirzadeh accomplished a lot in her 30-plus-year high-tech career. She produced goods and services. She created jobs. And she generated economic value.

These days, she’s determined to make something else: change. She’s donating her time to a new grassroots organization opposing the Trump administration, Tech Stands Up https://www.techstandsup.org/, to fight for causes about which she cares deeply, such as women’s rights, immigration and environmental protection.

"I have never seen this kind of mobilization" in the tech industry, says Aghamirzadeh, a 58-year-old retired Cisco Systems executive and electrical engineer who emigrated to the U.S. from Iran. "I think it’s the first time we have seen it coming from the bottom up."
