Podcast Episode 33: Civic Engagement with Sam Hammar

Published by She+ Geeks Out on April 18, 2017

Sam Hammar, Director of Digital Engagement for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, is a dynamo! She has spoken at several SGO events and we just had to have her on our podcast so we could talk to her in greater detail. Anyone who’s anyone in local city government has heard of Sam. We geek out about politics and the importance of getting involved locally and her work for the Commonwealth and as Commissioner for the City of Melrose’s Commission on Women.

We also include a special Shout Out Section, where we rave about two wonderful podcasts, the Stack Overflow podcast and Sooo Many White Guys. And we JUST so happen to also TALK about one of them during the podcast. Because we’re so meta. Please listen to them, they’ll make your ears and brain happy!

Land Acknowledgement

She+ Geeks Out was originally founded on land that is the traditional territory of the Massachusett and Pawtucket tribes, and which is still home to descendants of these peoples. At this point in time, the SGO team is fully remote, and we are located across the United States. Land acknowledgements are a way for us to reflect upon the duality of our work— while we work within our team, our community, and our client organizations to promote greater inclusivity and abolish inequities, we ourselves still perpetuate and contribute to various forms of historical and present oppression. We are now operating in a virtual space, but we can still honor and name the physical spaces we all inhabit. We encourage you to learn more about the lands you are currently on and reflect on your own place in this work.
