I really believe that citizens should have better access to politicians and decision makers outside of elections - we need to ensure that everyone's voice is heard! I'm also deeply interested in how technology affects society and how we can use it for good purposes!]]> 2020-08-07 06:44:19 UTC https://padlet.com/alexandermakela/jerr3smwr5ogaezm/wish/672213914 alexandermakela https://padlet.com/alexandermakela/jerr3smwr5ogaezm/wish/672214788 Whenever I travel, I try to get in a few days of hiking as well.
