    Hello everyone, hope the first few weeks of the semester are going well! I wanted to share a call to action for a project I\’m currently working on. Feel free to share with your friends, colleagues, families and loved ones. Take care!


    The NYC Peoples\’ Tech Assemblies:

    We recognize 2021 has provided a multitude of feelings, from uncertainty to hopefulness, but we want to work with you to ensure NYC remains a powerhouse in the years to come.

    By way of introduction, the NYC Peoples’ Tech Assemblies are a series of engagements: a community survey, online forums, roundtable events and facilitated conversations for New Yorkers to share their voice on tech issues across the city from August 23 to November 14 2021. 

    As someone with a stake in the future of New York City, we invite you to join CitizenLab, our online discussion platform as a part of the NYC Peoples’ Tech Assemblies. Given your expertise in data analysis we believe you could initiate an interesting conversation on the future of tech in New York City.

    How to get started on CitizenLab?

    1. Register on the NYC Peoples’ Tech Assembly website.
    2. Under “Projects” you’ll see a list of topics related to your field of expertise.  
    3. Click on “Add a contribution” to start a conversation.
    4. Click on “See a contribution” to respond to an ongoing conversation.

    While our engagement period ends November 14th, we’re hoping to get the conversation started on our platform’s forums this week. Do you think you could log on and post a few ideas, questions or issues by Monday October 4th?  We would love for you to join this movement – if you know of anyone who would also be interested, please feel free to forward this message to them as well.

    Lastly, if you have questions or want to learn more about our project please visit our website and know that we’re happy to answer any questions as well at peoplestech@beta.nyc. 

     

    Wishing you all the best,

    The NYC Peoples’ Tech Assemblies Coalition
