About

Designers and Developers, you are not powerless in this time of need. Our communities need urgent help more than ever. We can build digital infrastructure to help our nation's response and recovery be more effective and coordinated. Take your weekend at home and maybe help save lives!

We'll have members in the medical community, education and other experts that will give you guidance on the important things they need help with the most to inform what you might be able to build.
