Help RailsBridge Change the World. RailsBridge is run entirely on donations of money, time, and expertise. If your company or organization can help us make tech more welcoming and more diverse, we'd love your help. We need workshops sponsors (mostly to cover the cost of food), and also program sponsors so that we can help workshops happen in new places that don't yet have companies to help sponsor and host!
