BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Code for Birmingham is having a brigade meeting tonight at 6pm at Innovation Depot and you should be there.

Despite what their name may imply, Code for Birmingham is not a programmers group.

Code for Birmingham is an activist group with big goals for our city. They need politically driven people, artists, designers, lawyers, healthcare professionals, students, teachers, business owners, dog walkers, bike riders, bus riders, and everyone in between.

They need your input and they need your help, no matter your skill-set.

Tonight, they're continuing work on public transit maps in and out of the city. A representative of the BJCTA will be there to help the discussion along.

There's also going to be two new project proposals:



The first is a collaboration with One Roof, a homelessness advocacy group in Central Alabama, to develop apps and gather information to help people living on the streets.

Second is a talk about addressing the very real problem of food deserts in the Birmingham area and what can be (and is being done) about it.

Do you have opinions about public transit, homelessness, or food deserts in Birmingham?

You should come to Code for Birmingham tonight.

Check out their Facebook, Twitter, and Meetup pages for more information.
