We help New Yorkers access information & use technology.

We are a #civictech organization improving the lives of New Yorkers through #opendata, public interest technology (#pitech) & service design. We want New York’s governments to work for the people, by the people, for the digital era.

Our work equips individuals and local communities to build a civically engaged technology ecosystem and provide for an honest and inclusive government.
