This Hack Hours
On October 4, support Jacquelyn, Founder of Okionou. It’s remote.
Join the #Equalithon community and make a solid move to support Black Legacy! Help review and deploy the code that many volunteers created over the past few months.
Jacquelyn went through lots of difficulties to get there, so please help her deploy the code on her Heroku account, and test her idea!
This Equalithon is an opportunity to:
address a critical Societal challenge;
improve and scale our impact, together.
Note:
All times are given in US EST (NYC time)
Location: entirely remote except noted otherwise.
