There a 4 main issues that Fix 216 will address in this hackathon:

  1. Communities do not know what the consent decree means for them, their neighbors, and their city.

  2. People do not know what their role is in addressing the consent decree for their city - or how to do that.

  3. Good, working, easy to access mechanisms do not exist for people to be active in using the consent decree to make a more cohesive Cleveland.

  4. Cleveland hasn't built an easily accessible two-way road, connecting citizens to decision-makers, which is needed to welcome everyone who desires it, a stake within the solution building process
