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 😉

Great getting to know @CFCBuffalo MISSION: IGNITE who are expanding tech access and improving digital skills for children, students, and families! Much needed in today's world, thanks for the tour and keep up the fantastic work! – at Buffalo, NY

Thank you to everyone who showed up on a beautiful summer night to join our first #CfABrigade #civictech meetup! Great conversation and great pizza sponsored by rprt LLC! Stay tuned for our next meetup in 2 weeks, a new website, and the National Day of Civic Hacking on 8/11! – at Buffalo, NY

We're smiling because this is our last Friday 7am meeting at Spot Coffee! Not everyone from the core team could make it this morning, but we're excited to welcome new members and are looking forward to the start of our biweekly early evening meetups in July!

Proud to represent #BuffaloNY at the #CfASummit Brigade Day! We're so happy to join the @codeforamerica family! Thanks for welcoming us with open arms! #civictech @OpenDataBuffalo
