19 Community Board Conversations: A Block Party Workshop
Brandon Pachuca - Block Party
McKay Adams - Block Party

In this interactive workshop, we will explore local community board meetings using Block Party's extensive archive of meeting transcripts as a data resource. The format will be a brief presentation where we provide an overview of the important role that community boards play in representing local needs and concerns, as well as how they shape the community. We will share the civic tech initiative of Block Party and how the resource seeks to make local community board meeting information more accessible. We will then facilitate a hands-on exploration where participants can dive into the Block Party archive of transcripts and navigate through the discussions that shape our neighborhoods using new features developed to search and explore topics of interest. The majority of the workshop will be interactive learning where we aim to engage in brainstorming on local democracy and addressing the issues that matter most to the community.
