InterdepenDance Civic Jam ★

InterdepenDance Civic Jam · Build America v2.50 🇺🇸
July 4th, we celebrate. July 5th, we build. 🛠️
The Civic Jam is a one-day build-athon to follow the InterdepenDance Day festival on the 4th:
InterdepenDance Day ★ A Party Of, By & For the People! - https://luma.com/event/evt-BvqJ7FrMVSjhray
Visit interdependanceday.org to learn more about the full weekend of celebrations.

Come with an idea, a skill, or just curiosity. Assemble your crew, pick something worth jamming on, and spend the day making it real. You'll leave with real progress: a software prototype, a grassroots campaign, or even a song 🎶

🧭 Our Game Plan
🌅 Arrive (11:30): Doors open. Grab coffee, a name tag, and meet the room — we ease in and build momentum.
🎬 Kick off (12:00 sharp): We open with Nicole Ozer of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, then warm up the room: meet your neighbors, and take ten quiet minutes to imagine the mission that makes your America v2.50 true.
📋 Pick a mission (12:45): Missions get pitched as plots — the problem, the world after, the plan, and the superpowers it needs. Raise your hand for the ones that pull you, join a crew of 3 to 5, or lead your own. Ideas are already in the room: AI 🤖, voting 🗳️, circular economy ♻️, clean energy ⚡, and more.
🛠️ Build (1:15): You've got the afternoon to jam. Checkpoints at 2:00 and 4:00 keep things moving. Along the way, every crew captures its mission on one page — together, the pages become the day's zine 📰
🎤 Share (5:00): Every crew shows what they made. A few minutes each: your plot, your progress, your next chapter.

🦸 Who this is for
Everybody! You don't need to code, and you don't need to be an expert. You need an afternoon and a little curiosity.
High-tech, low-tech, or no-tech. For a startup, a nonprofit, a civic project, or simply your neighbors. From local to national, come build a piece of the America v2.50 you want to live in.
