I would love for a cop or detective to join the group
I would love for a judge or former judge to join the group (might sound wild, but WHY NOT. I am aiming for the stars.)
Anyone who knows how to query data, enrich data, back end developers, Frontend Data Visualization Engineers, Product Managers, Educators, Designers, anyone who can help us connect with people who work for the system, anyone who is curious to take time out of their lives to read and learn about the system, join conversations, ask questions, and help do research.
