Civic hacknight #171 with Women and Color: Mohammed Asaduallah & Sharon Kennedy

Topic: "How-to create social impact by asking for help"

Women and Color is a federally registered non-profit with a mission to advance and promote underrepresented folks in tech. And yet, for all of its growth and success, Women and Color wouldn't be the organization it is today if it wasn't through the ongoing support of like-minded volunteers that came together every week at CivicTechTO.

Join us to get a behind-the-scene look at Women and Color's year-long journey in building its new website and what they've been up to since "graduating" from CivicTechTO.

You can also help us chip away at civic problems by combining technology with the power of our community. We've got everything you need for a perfect Tuesday night: a presentation to learn from, some projects to work on, and pizza (or other food) to snack on!
