Tech Stands Up

On March 14th -- Pi Day -- hundreds of people in and around the tech community will rally to make a strong statement in support of the values that drive Silicon Valley:

• Inclusion, diversity, and civil liberties
• The open exchange of ideas
• Community participation
• The idea that meritocracy is where the best ideas win regardless of status or power
• Experimentation and discovery to find the best possible solution

Come, be inspired by leaders in technology, non-profits, and organizations fighting for social justice every day. In addition to speakers, we have invited nonprofits to host info tables so you can start getting active right away!

Our goals are:

• Connect technologists to organizations, through hackathons, fundraising, mentoring programs, and donating skills/time;
• Work together with other organizations to bridge the divide between the tech industry and people that technology has disrupted.

This is intended to be a peaceful event. We will be working closely with the City of Palo Alto to ensure that everyone has a safe and inspiring day.
