Are you interested in the intersection between human-centered design and activism? Hacktivists Unite is the perfect opportunity to connect and work with other activists, policy makers, journalists, designers and developers who want to stand up for our country.
Join us April 7-9 to tackle some of the most urgent and vexing problems we face right now:
Immigrant communities are under siege. How do we protect them?
Free speech and freedom of the press are being attacked. How do we fight back?
How might the activist, journalist and tech communities boldly and imaginatively combat these threats by working together?
Who are we? We Persist, Women’s March Sacramento, Women’s March Oakland, and Tech Stands Up are joining forces to tackle these pressing issues. Hacktivists Unite is generously hosted by General Assembly, San Francisco.Â
What is a hackathon? Hackathons are events that enable smart, dedicated, passionate people from a multitude of backgrounds to come together to focus on solving (or hacking) a specific problem. Facebook’s “Like†button, for instance, came out of a hackathon. To get a better sense of what a hackathon is like, check out MIT’s 2014 event, “Making a Breast Pump That Doesn’t Suck.â€
When:
Friday, April 7 –  6:00pm – 9:00pm (presenting challenges, pitching ideas)
Saturday, April 8 – 9:00am – 6:00pm (iterating, building, presenting initial demos, crowd judging)
Sunday, April 9 – 9:00am – 5:00pm (polishing, presenting final demos)
Cost is $15 per person. Food and drinks for all 3 days will be included. No one will be turned away for lack of funds; please email [email protected] directly for a fee waiver.
