#HackTheBan
Donation protected
Hack the Ban will bring together multidisciplinary creatives (technologists, designers, journalists, etc) and organizations working at the forefront of immigration issues in New York City. The intention is to help these organizations serve their communities more effectively by working directly with them on the digital media and communications problems they are facing.
Our goals are straightforward:
*Design with purpose
*Create concrete solutions that can be used RIGHT. NOW.
*Foster a technical support community for the community.
We are raising money to support the following elements of this hackathon and the projects that emerge from it, including covering costs such as materials and catering for +150 participants, and creating a pool of money to support further development of concepts generated on the day on behalf of our nonprofit partners.
Hackathon partners include:
CUNY CLEAR
The Creating Law Enforcement Accountability & Responsibility (CLEAR) project is housed at the City University of New York (CUNY) School of Law. CLEAR primarily aims to address the unmet legal needs of Muslim, Arab, South Asian, and other communities in the New York City area that are particularly affected by national security and counterterrorism policies and practices.
IRAP
IRAP’s goal is to ensure that available services and legal protections go to those who are most in need. Utilizing their grassroots networks amongst particularly difficult-to-access populations, they work to identify and empower many of the world’s most at-risk refugees, including LGBTI individuals, religious minorities subject to targeted violence, survivors of sexual and gender-based violence, children with medical emergencies for which local treatment is not available, and interpreters being hunted down by the Islamic State, militias, and the Taliban in retaliation for their work with the United States and NATO.
MPOWER CHANGE
MPower Change is a grassroots organizing movement rooted in diverse Muslim communities throughout the United States who are working together to build social, spiritual, racial, and economic justice for all people.
DRUM
DRUM – South Asian Organizing Center (formerly Desis Rising Up and Moving) is a multigenerational, membership led organization of low-wage South Asian immigrant workers and youth in New York City.
THE CENTER FOR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS
The Center for Constitutional Rights is dedicated to advancing and protecting the rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
