WeGov Community Assembly
#wegovnyc Get involved with the WeGovNYC Project
Our mission at WeGovNYC is to bring New Yorkers together to create the world’s best municipality.
We do this through organizing software and data projects that make our city more transparent and more participatory.
We use lots of open source software and open data in our projects and do our best to follow the open source way.
As such, you can find lots of documentation and code about our project on our wiki.
We encourage you to subscribe to our newsletter, join our Slack, and make a donation.
We'd also love for you to join our events, make and discuss proposals, and vote on priorities.
Purpose of action
This system uses Decidim, an open source software platform that also powers participate.nyc.gov.
By using the same platform as the city, we're learning about this system's capabilities and exposing more people to it. This will enable us to make better recommendations to the city about how the city could best utilize it to make our government more participatory and engaging.
Internal organisation
WeGovNYC is a nonprofit program of Sarapis, a 501c3 nonprofit that can receive tax-deductible contributions.
WeGovNYC is run as a benevolent dictatorship led by Devin Balkind, but we intend to democratize the project, likely into a circles formation.
Composition
This group is for anyone who wants to work with the WeGovNYC team.
