March General Meeting
The Broadband Access Project (BAP) was a partnership among community based organizations, the University of Minnesota, and the Minnesota Multicultural Media Consortium (MMMC) to develop or upgrade eleven public computer centers in Minneapolis and St Paul. The efforts were supported by a grant from the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP). At this TLC meeting, partners from the BAP will share an update about the accomplishments and challenges of the partnership, as well as plans the public computer centers are making for moving forward now that the project is transitioning off of BTOP funding.
Pizza will be available as usual for a few dollars.

About E-Democracy.org:
E-democracy.org builds online public space in the heart of real democracy and community. Our major focus is our network of neighborhood online forums across the Twin Cities Metro - and others sprinkled across the world - that foster community life dialogue. Our mission is to harness the power of online tools to support participation in public life, strengthen communities, and build democracy. We do this by hosting public online forums at the neighborhood level where neighbors can discuss what matters to them, whether that's upcoming events, community gardens, or crime issues. Forum members agree to a set of rules, use real names, and agree to be civil, building trust across the forum. Each forum is facilitated by a dedicated volunteer manager, who enforces the rules, and helps to encourage discussion.
With Knight Foundation support, we have a crucial opportunity to demonstrate that inclusive community engagement online works at scale across an entire central city. We seek to demonstrate that all neighborhoods, regardless of income and the diverse communities within them, can and must be part of an integrated neighbors online revolution.
