Un-Hack The Vote 2017
The Goal
Inspire young professionals (YPs) to protect the voting rights of racial minorities. This Hackathon will push YPs to learn about redistricting and gerrymandering and propose data and technology-driven solutions that increase public awareness.
The Challenge
Develop an informative way for citizens to learn about redistricting and gerrymandering practices using maps, data, and successful, unsuccessful, and ongoing initiatives. Propose solutions, policies, and movements that will prevent marginalization of our voting rights.

Thursday Network is an incredible organization of civic-minded young professionals working together to create a better community for us all. Visit their website to see more of what they're doing out in the community on a regular basis and, better yet, reach out to them and ask you can help.
