NYC Peoples’ Tech Assemblies Toolkit

  • Posted by Jessie Daniels on November 17, 2021 at 5:00 pm

    Many of you are interested in the overlap between tech policy, cities (or, urban studies) and digital technologies, so I’m sharing this message is from Noel Hidalgo, an NYC-based researcher and activist about one of his projects, the Peoples’ Roadmap for a Digital NYC.

    ****
    Help us outline the future of NYC’s government tech and design policy! We’re rewriting the Peoples’ Roadmap and want to include your input about civic & community empowerment or effective & open government. Use our at-home toolkit to facilitate a conversation with your community and contribute thoughts about the future of technology in NYC. You can download it here and let us know your intention to host a conversation by filling out this form. If you have any questions, let us know! We are also holding weekly office hours on Mondays and Fridays at 12pm. RSVP to attend here.

    Why are we doing this? In 2013, New Yorkers from across the city helped write the Peoples’ Roadmap for a Digital New York City < http://nycroadmap.us/ >. This document outlined 34 policy ideas, led to the creation of several innovation labs, transparency laws, and made the city’s open data law/program permanent. Now, New Yorkers have an opportunity to direct what happens in the next administration. Join the Peoples Tech Assemblies and host a conversation!
