if me (https://github.com/julianguyen/ifme) is an open source, not-for-profit mental health communication app to encourage people to talk about their experiences with loved ones. The project is built and maintained by contributors many backgrounds and skill sets, not just technical folks. Encouraging mental health support in underrepresented communities is important.

Project #4: We Vote (http://www.WeVoteUSA.org)

We Vote is an interactive, digital voter guide informed by issues you care about and people and organizations you trust. You have a lot of decisions to make when you vote, and political campaigns don't always tell the whole truth. With fake news and misinformation, it's hard to tell which candidate or ballot initiative is on your side. We Vote cuts through the clutter to help you understand what's on your ballot. Our platform aggregates information and opinions across personal networks – so you can help your friends become better voters too. Just as LinkedIn is the place everyone goes to find resumes, We Vote will be where everyone goes to create their personal voter guide. We Vote is nonpartisan and nonprofit, founded and built by volunteers, including engineers from the Code for San Francisco Brigade of Code for America.

Wed night hackathon 6-9pm PT, August 2nd at http://codeforsanfrancisco.org/ at the Code for America offices in SF

Speaker: Dale McGrew, Co-Founder and CTO
