Our whole core team had a great time at the @codeforamerica Summit! We're excited to put all the new ideas we learned to use. Also, congrats to @mpbrown716 & @harshitagirase for winning a 2019 Community Fellowship!! 🎉 #cfasummit #codeforamerica #codeforbuffalo

Happy holidays from #Buffalo's #CfABrigade! ☃️🎄❄️🎅🏽

Was @codeforamerica #BrigadeCongress really over a month ago? Well in the spirit of the season, #thankful for the incredible #civictech community of friends and supporters dedicated to the public good, both across the country and here in #Buffalo!

ALERT: a herd of Buffalo civic techies have been spotted in a stampede to Charlotte for #CfABrigade #BrigadeCongress @codeforamerica. Beware that Buffalonians are easy to befriend and individuals who do so might get a sticker... while supplies last!

Our very 1st deliverable! 🥇 Created an interactive map for @PUSHBuffalo of nearby city auction lots. Still some polishing to do, but it's a milestone for our #CfABrigade nonetheless! 🎉 Made with #JupyterNotebook and @OpenDataBuffalo

Thank you to @Andrea_O_S from @PPGBuffalo for speaking with us last week about a bunch of civic tech projects! From a court watch system for bail reform to mapping housing costs and displacement in real time, we're excited to get to work towards a better Buffalo!

Last night we welcomed Oswaldo Mestre of @MayorByronBrown's Citizen Services which led @OpenDataBuffalo and runs programs like #311 and Clean Sweep. Great discussions on #civictech and #opendata to improve services! We're thankful to have Oswaldo as a champion in City Hall! 💪🏿

🎉1st #NationalDayOfCivicHacking and very 1st event as a #CfABrigade! 🎉 Thanks to all who showed up on a sunny Saturday to discuss how #civictech and #opendata can empower our community! Wonderful conversations and many connections made! 👍Can't wait for our next meetup on 8/21!

"The people closest to the problem are closest to the solution." 💙 @open_buffalo's India Walton and @UDCDA's Darren Cotton on the potential of #civictech and #opendata to drive justice and equity in their communities. Full video coming soon. #NationalDayofCivicHacking

@AKrolikowski leads a demo on using @OpenDataBuffalo. Check out their Neighborhood Profiles, Data Lens, and CitiStat dashboards! Awesome data portal thanks to partnership with @socrata, @MayorByronBrown & @SunFoundation #NationalDayofCivicHacking

#civictech is more than just apps - it's a tool for justice. Attendees at our first #NationalDayofCivicHacking watched a powerful talk by @JazmynLatimer from @codeforamerica summit 2016 on how #ClearMyRecord fixed implementation gaps and gave people a second chance! #inspired

Stickers & buttons & posters, oh my! With @codeforamerica's swag bag, we're all set for tomorrow's #NationalDayofCivicHacking! And get ready for a stampede of #Buffalo stickers at #CfABrigade Congress in October 😉
