Hacking and the Hyperlocal - Campaign Lab November Hack Day

​Be part of the mission to connect politics to the hyperlocal and join us at our Hack Day on November 17th at Newspeak House!

​​​All progressive technologists, activists, organisers and campaigners, are welcome!

​​​All you need is to bring yourself and a laptop!

​----

​We all know that politics is London centric, focussed on the gossip of the Westminster bubble and disconnected from the vast majority of British people who are outside that bubble.

We believe that politics needs to be brought back down to the local level and reoriented around the decisions that make material differences to people's lives. And we believe there is a lesson for progressives here: speak to people in the language of the local, and you are much more likely to get a hearing.

As part of our work around this, our community have already made some incredible tools like the MP Scorecard and the Local Policy Stats tool. These tools equip citizens and progressive campaigners with the knowledge they need to know exactly how the decisions made by their local representative affect their local area. But the work is never done - join us at our Hyperlocal Hack day on the 17th November as we continue to build the campaigning tools that connect national politics and the hyperlocal.
