| 22 | +### Why are we doing this? |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +We want to continue from the success of the Hack Brexit hackathon on the 23-4 July to bring together technical and non-technical people to create tech solutions to drive dialog, unity and positive action beyond Brexit. We want to sustainably support and scale up projects that have a clear positive impact on society and respond to one of the three key themes we chose for the weekend: 1. Truth, fiction, & accountability; 2. Tolerance & prejudice; 3. Effective organising & campaigning. |
