now-u-campaigns

Welcome! 👋

This is the official repository for the now-u Web Application. now-u is a non-profit started by James and Lizzie Elgar, aimed at driving positive change through coordinated monthly campaigns and actions. Volunteers from all over the world contributed to now-u, and are continuing to do so today, from app and web development, through designing and marketing. If you are reading this, there is a possibility you are a volunteer who has just been onboarded onto the Web Team, and if this is the case, keep on reading!
