About the Event

We're assembling to watch a panel of leaders from Code for America, Transform911 and the Tucson Police Department discuss the current state of 911 emergency response, its impacts, and our community’s role in helping to imagine a truly human-centered emergency response system.

Join us to listen to stakeholders and then participate in a virtual workshop with BetaNYC and the Office of the Public Advocate as part of a Peoples' Tech Assembly to take action to reimagine 911 in New York City.

This community event will be a casual and safe space for sharing thoughts and providing feedback directly to NYC stakeholders as part of the Peoples Tech Assemblies.
