{UNGLITCH} Net Neutrality Hackathon + Creative Showcase

An activist group of creative technologists working to connect people who want to have productive responses to evolving tech policy.

UNGLITCH

Despite the recent introduction to the <A HREF="https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/files/2017/12/net-neutrality-bill.pdf?tid=a_inl" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Open Internet Preservation Act</A>, there are many concerns around the state of access to information in the United States in the coming years which we aim to discuss and build around.
