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
This International Women’s Day, we are proud to introduce a new organization dedicated to diversifying tech by centering marginalized people and their experiences. Learn more about our mission & our team here: wepivot.org/why-we-pivot/

"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.
We're committed to making big changes in 2019. We'd love to share more about them with our community and hear from you. Save the date to join us for our upcoming video forums (open to all in the GDI community) next Friday 1/11 at 12pm ET and 6pm ET here: meetings.ringcentral.com/j/1…
