It would be great to be able to provide devices for people. How would we fund that? How many would we need?

Who is our audience for this?
I’d (sam) love to work with activists in the city, but I see value in reaching out to tech-minded folks who already have a foot in the door interest-wise so by the time we invite others in, there’s a robust network already online
it’s feeling more and more urgent to get people online in Southwest Detroit
There could be two versions of the workshop
one to connect pre-interested people to get the city connected as well as possible
then another to get newer folks (non-techy perhaps) online so they can use the network for other purposes
