A key focus of this gathering will be how to reach and engage ALL neighbors including lower income, immigrant, diverse, etc. neighbors.
Neighbors Online Networking - Bay Area and Beyond - Who is doing what locally? Multiple tools and models from around the world.
Inclusive Community Engagement Online - Stories and lessons you can adapt and use in your own community are emerging from the world's largest effort to inclusively connect 10,000+ diverse neighbors online in St. Paul, Minnesota by 2014.
Whether a neighborhood has a YahooGroup from a decade ago, a local neighborhood parent group on Facebook, or a private e-block group on NextDoor, the goal of deep inclusion and connecting neighbors *across diversity* is something we will discuss. This will also be an opportunity to learn what is already happening on the ground in San Francisco to bridge diverse local communities with social media so we can share those stories via our national outreach.
