The Tech Stands Up Podcast is a series dedicated to the intersection of technology and civic engagement at the local, state, and federal levels. We explore how the tools we are building impact our society by interviewing leaders in technology, non-profit, government, and academia. We encourage the engineers, designers, and product managers to question our leader's decisions and to collaborate with their local communities to help solve some of the most pressing issues our world faces right now. We owe it to future generations to ensure this period in history is looked back with admiration, not self-destruction. This is the moment that Tech Stands Up!
