With a focus on working with communities that have limited infrastructure due to violence, negligence, or catastrophe, GWOB organizes hack-a-thons for humanitarian technology, and helps prototype projects intended to turn into long-term initiatives through their Accelerator for Humanitarian Projects.</p> <p>Lisha Sterling, executive director of GWOB, recently returned to Washington state from the US-Mexico border. She'll be talking to our groups about her month in Tijuana supporting Al Otro Lado and Frontline Wellness United, and ongoing technology projects supporting the health and legal rights of asylum seekers. We'll join her talk via teleconference.</p> <p>Join us for a great presentation! We'll have snacks, and there will be an opportunity for networking afterwards. We hope to see you there!</p> <p>Speaker bio:</p> <p>Lisha Sterling is executive director of Geeks Without Bounds, which was formed in October 2010.</p> <p>By attending this TA3M meeting, you agree to follow our Code of Conduct: <a href="https://www.meetup.com/Portlands-Techno-Activism-3rd-Mondays/pages/22681732/Code_of_Conduct/">https://www.meetup.com/Portlands-Techno-Activism-3rd-Mondays/pages/22681732/Code_of_Conduct/</a></p> <p>{short} Code of Conduct Portland's Techno-Activism 3rd Mondays is dedicated to providing an informative and positive experience for everyone who participates in or supports our community, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, ability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, socioeconomic status, caste, or creed.</p> <p>Our events are intended to educate and share information related to technology and activism, and anyone who is there for this purpose is welcome.
