In November of 2014, Washington D.C. was the host city for The Rebuilding Re-Entry Social Justice Hackathon. For 3 days, service providers, attorneys, technology experts, community activists and returning citizens all collaborated to create exciting solutions in Re-Entry Reform. With over 240 people having participated, tough conversations occurred, challenges were identified, and as a result, impactful technology was initially developed. Come join us at Demo Day. We will showcase results and work together again to come up with more solutions around re-entry.

06/04/2015: The program will begin with a panel discussion on why we need a new frame in order to eliminate the social stigma caused by incarceration and criminal records. Following this discussion, we are excited to move into a case studies/keynote portion of the program to discuss civic tech/tech for good as the new frontier and learn how we can all participate. The second half of the program kicks off with exciting and brief presentations of the software applications created from the hackathon, as well as offline progress made by community project teams in the last 7 months. We invite you to join us to connect with other stakeholders at the closing happy hour.
6/5/2014 Our second day begins with a community dialogue. Voices from service providers, government agencies, returning citizens and residents alike are encouraged to help us envision what a re-entry friendly city could look like. Following the dialogue, working groups will be tasked with designing innovative and entrepreneurial solutions to make the vision come alive. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.
6/6/2015: The National Day of Civic Hacking is coming to D.C. and we are organizing teams! Please check back as more information will be available shortly.
