Hi Everyone,
With the next CA Tech Fest on the horizon and a new home for our nonprofit learning resources emerging, our summer is heating up fast. We rounded up some opportunities for you to connect with activists, organizers, and techies from around the world who are passionate about social justice and technology.
What's Inside
Collaboration in the Bay! CA Tech Fest Richmond
Aspiration's fifth California Nonprofit Technology Festival will be held in the city of Richmond, California on September 25-26th with our co-organizer, Healthy Richmond.
Save the dates for this participatory, statewide convening of over 100 nonprofit organizations sharing experiences and knowledge around how to leverage technology to help advance their social justice efforts.
As we prepare to convene in Richmond, take a moment to catch up with a few CA Tech Fest veterans who shared their voices, and tell us what YOU hope to get out of CA Tech Fest Richmond. Read the article.
A special thanks to Misha from Black Organizing Project, David from California Pan-Ethnic Health Network, and Ruth from BlinkTag for telling us about their experiences.

Nonprofit Learning Tools: Free, Open, and Adaptable
Over here at Aspiration, we are working hard to create new web pages to host our learning and training materials for nonprofit staff, decision makers, and nonprofit capacity builders.
Soon we will have editable and downloadable materials as part of the nonprofit learning resources section on our web site. Until then, we would love your thoughts on the progress we've made. Tell us if we are on the right track by checking out the test pages.
Deep gratitude to Ari, Dirk, John, Kristine, Bobby, David, Rachel, and Monica for the great feedback so far.
