Civic Tech is technology capabilities that are required to design and build equitable services and service delivery models that enhance the relationship between the people and government. Civic tech is about social innovation. As Black people, we are instrumental to designing and building equitable services and service delivery models. Let's help build the future of government equitably, together.
