<a href="https://democracylab.org/index/?section=AboutEvent&amp;id=hacky-new-year-2021" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>Join us online or in-person on September 10th for a convening of our tech-for-good community. It’s a chance to get inspired, imagine a better future, and contribute your talents to projects that need your help.

<a href="https://www.democracylab.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">DemocracyLab</a> and <a href="https://codeforamerica.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Code for America</a> are convening this hybrid hackathon event focused on helping tech-for-good projects make incremental progress toward their long-term goals.

Bring your creativity, your collaborative spirit, and a smile to share.
