About us
We invite civic thinkers of all stripes -- coders, designers, data scientists, product managers, and non-techies -- to join our all-volunteer efforts to make Atlanta a better place.
Anyone can contribute to a civic-minded, social good project. We welcome partnerships with local non-profits and government agencies on projects that serve the public and engage with all of metro Atlanta's communities.

Civic Tech Morning on Public Banking
Brash Coffee, 130 West Paces Ferry RD NW, Atlanta, GA, USJoin us for Civic Tech Morning at BRASH Coffee at the Atlanta History Center in Buckhead. To support the coffee shop, we ask that you purchase a beverage or pastry during your visit. Free parking is available outside the coffee shop, or at the Center’s parking deck a short walk away.
The discussion topic for this coffee chat will be Susi Durán's essay on Public Banking:
How Susi Durán Would Fix Atlanta
From the essay:
A public bank, on the other hand, is publicly-owned and serves a public purpose to invest in the public good. It operates without profit motive and is governed with public oversight. This is an important distinction, and one that Atlanta needs for obvious reasons. Just as a credit union returns profits to its members, a public bank reinvests profits back to the public in ways that credit unions are unable to (due to scale) and private banks are unwilling to (due to greed).
Please read the essay in advance and come prepared to discuss it.
