    I'm thrilled to announce that after 10 months of work, the first version of Clean & Green Philly is now live! 🏙️🌱 Our website leverages public data to help Philadelphians combat gun violence through strategic, place-based interventions. Check out v1 at cleanandgreenphilly.org! Leading this project has been an incredible experience. I've learned a ton about civic tech and place-based anti-gun violence work. Moreover, I've gotten to work with an amazing team of volunteers from Code for Philly. Kudos to all the folks who have contributed to this project, especially in this recent sprint to launch v1. 🙌 Lastly, now is a great time to get involved! As summer approaches, we're gearing up for user research and workshops to demonstrate how our tool can be used. We’re also planning significant upgrades to both our dataset and website functionalities. 👉 If you're interested in getting involved, please join our Slack channel through Code for Philly (https://lnkd.in/dexW7t9r) and reach out to me directly!
