Ask HN: How do I make technical contributions to a meaningful cause
4 by JudyRuliani | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Feeling upset today about the state of the US, but not sure how to make myself useful. I'm a software engineer and want to make technical contributions to a meaningful cause, how can I get involved? Are there open source projects to aid in protecting democracy, stopping fake news, coronavirus? There are so many big problems in the world right now, but I can't seem to find the right way to help.
