Code for Tampa Bay is a Code for America Brigade,  a volunteer community that is part of an international network of people committed to using our voices and hands, in collaboration with local governments, to make our communities better. Code for Tampa Bay Brigade helps build participatory power in our  cities by holding regular civic hack nights and events, advocating for open data, and deploying apps. Brigades celebrate and share their successes with the Brigade network to further the global civic innovation movement.   Join our MeetUp Group at http://www.meetup.com/Code-for-Tampa-Bay-Brigade/  to stay up to date on regular meetings and special events like National Day of Civic Hacking and Code Across opportunities.
