I just heard about an org called 403DIY

Super cool name, super tight branding, super simple website for Calgarians to collect information about their city, including an event calendar.

Sound familiar?

I found them through a poster outside CJSW studios at UCalgary. Likely student-maintained. They keep a list of activism organizations, it’s quite short though, and none are very directly related to urban advocacy.

I submitted a few organizations off the top of my head to the website, and shot a message asking whoever organizes this to shoot me a message. I’d love to integrate our platforms together in some way, even if much of what’s there isn’t quite directly on-topic here. It’s valuable work, and it’s validating to see other folks having similar ideas about improving our City in different disciplines or directions.

I notice that they have very clearly communicated pathways to submit things to the platform. Perhaps the forum could benefit from some custom buttons on certain sites to help with accessibility.
