Are you curious or even passionate about using advocacy, technology and sensible design to create more equitable social and civic structures in Western North Carolina?
Whether you call yourself an organizer, a technologist, a designer, planner, concerned resident, all of the above or something else entirely, we want to be in relationship and build community together with you.

What to expect:
Since project work takes place asynchronously—individually and in smaller squads—the goals of our monthly gatherings are to:
- build relationships and learn about each other's skills, interests and goals,
- learn what we are doing across the organization (project updates),
- provide opportunities to get involved with and/or initiate projects, and
- shape where we are going as an organization, co-creating the culture and course of our work together.
In this meeting, we will:
- gather virtually using Zoom for group video chat,
- do brief introductions, with a prompt,
- share updates about the projects that we're working on, highlighting deliverables for the next month and areas where additional resources would be useful, and
- discuss proposals and new opportunities to engage with local government and community organizations.
It isn't all glamorous, but the stakes are low for showing up and we'd be delighted to join together with you in this work.
