mRelief, a woman-led initiative that’s made it easier for people to access food benefits. Since 2018, it’s helped unlock $2 BILLION (yes, with a B) in SNAP support for people across the country.
In a time of DOGE and digital distrust, it’s tempting to think all tech can do is tear things down. But this is what happens when we invite everyone—not just the billionaires—into the process of shaping solutions.
This is what citizening looks like:
🧑🤝🧑 People-powered innovation
🏙️ Tech rooted in place
💡 Making tools with communities, not just for them
