Formerly GDIROC

Heads up! GDI HQ is leveraging our old, Meetup mailing lists to email former members about their virtual platform. Your local leadership and organizers are *not* involved nor were we contacted about this marketing tactic. Please beware.

As the final post in the ~5 years of this chapter's existence, we invite you to head on over to @WePivotROC and join the new chapter, in all senses of the word, of change for #Rochester. We learned a lot over here but there's so much more to do. So long from GDIROC!

GDIROC community, I'm excited to introduce to you an organization that will improve upon our previous efforts. Keeping social justice principles at the root of our endeavors is key to impactful change. We hope you'll stay tuned as We Pivot ramps up. ❤️ Kristen

"Why has this story, which features dozens of women in tech leaders rebelling against a well-established organization, not attracted the attention of national tech media? Is it a question of how this industry values gender or race issues?" #gdistrike technical.ly/philly/2019/01…

A town hall is taking place next Friday for anyone (chapter leaders, organizers, students, members, supporters, fans, etc.) to tune in and listen to the latest from GDI. We encourage you to join.

A message to our #GDIROC community that includes a review of the past few months, our reactions, and a message from your Chapter Leaders in their final month of leadership. Note: we are officially on hiatus until further notice. docs.google.com/document/d/16L…
