I feel like tech workers are already highly engaged, just very selectively with the causes that matter to the tech world. A good example of this is EFF. EFF has a huge presence both in the community and at every industry event I've ever been to. Most tech people I know donate to them.
There is also the FSF, numerous hacker camps and conferences aimed at women (Grace Hopper Celebration, etc).
I'm very skeptical on the need for a broad coalition of tech professionals.
