On Monday, we're hosting a Tech Solidarity event in San Francisco with a Cincinnati organizer who is mobilizing mainline churches around a curriculum of racial reconciliation, with the aim of bringing out a big wave of voters in 2018.

Troy Jackson is a brilliant organizer and thinker, and I begged him to come speak at a Tech Solidarity event within ten minutes of meeting him. It's going to be a really cool event. I hope everyone can come! https://techsolidarity.org/events/sf_november_20.html …

If you've never been to one of these events, there's a half-hour talk, then we have a Q/A and break for donuts. There are a lot of friendly nerds, and our hosts (Github!) have a very posh space. A good time is had by most!

One thing I learned from Rev. Jackson—megachurches are old news. The new thing is gigachurches, and the way they count their congregation is with heat sensors in the doors. I demand to hear more about this, and will bug him to tell us the details at the event!

Usually it's the opposite. It's right-wing movements that tend to support churches because their ideas about certain topics align perfectly.
