Hi all, this weekend, several dozen folks – and you? – are assembling to "hack money out of politics. I'm helping organize and raise funds for the event http://www.eventbrite.com/e/hack-for-democracy-registration-10711042015 (discussion flowing here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7438022). Rootstrikers, Move to Amend, The Sunlight Foundation, Maplight, and other organizations inspired and are partly involved with this newly-formed, nonpartisan initiative. Personally, I'm eager to see us go deeper than the majority of civic hacking with real and consequential political action. Your inspiration and participation can shape the initiatives and the future of this work! Sign up or join the waiting list. Spots are opening up Thursday night! Ping me with questions or proposals – especially for pitches or prize ideas. warmly, Danny
