DESCRIPTION

Following President Trump’s executive order regarding Muslim immigrants, the country collectively said we would not have it. Thanks to the actions of hard working organizations and lawyers, many of those detained have been released. However, the work continues.
Hack the Ban brings together multidisciplinary creatives (technologists, designers, journalists, etc) and organizations working at the forefront of immigration issues. The intention is to help these organizations fight more effectively by working directly with them on problems they are facing.
Our goals are straightforward:
1. Design with purpose
2. Create concrete solutions that can be used RIGHT. NOW.
3. Foster a technical support community for the resistance
So take a break from thinking up creative synonyms for the word “orange,” and join us now.

Volunteer Attorneys – select Indiv. Attorney ticket option

A volunteer lawyer could either serve as a legal / policy advisor for groups of tech/design folks who will be working on an app or a website specifically for the immigrant or muslim community. If you are part of an organization / group of volunteer attorneys, you can receive help from this event by contacting the organizers. We will match you with a group of “hackers”.
