The Black Flag

🌟 Join Us in Empowering Communities 🌟 Dear LinkedIn Community, I hope this message finds you well. I'm thrilled to share a groundbreaking initiative that we're spearheading at The Black Flag - "Building Futures: Empowering Communities with Comprehensive Initiatives." Our vision is simple yet profound: to transform Salt Lake City by repurposing a vacant building into a vibrant hub of activity that addresses homelessness, fosters community engagement, and promotes innovation. Enclosed within this post (https://lnkd.in/g9NgbNsx), you'll find a brief overview of our project charter, outlining our objectives and deliverables. While we're eager to share more about this initiative, we also understand the importance of confidentiality in the early stages. We believe that collaborations are the cornerstone of impactful change. That's why we're reaching out to potential partners who share our passion for community empowerment and social responsibility. Together, we can make a meaningful difference. If you're intrigued by our mission and would like to learn more, I invite you to reach out. Let's schedule a meeting to explore potential partnership opportunities further. Your expertise and support could be instrumental in turning our vision into reality. Thank you for considering this opportunity. Together, let's empower communities and build a better tomorrow. Warm regards, Brandon Jeanpierre Chairperson The Black Flag

I am looking for opportunities to grow and make a positive impact on this planet!

As a "church," we agreed not to interfere with legislation, per the 1st Amendment. Read more about our stance and doctrine at https://lnkd.in/gNjxQasg. After closing out our first public beta, we’ll scale additional projects under the same framework. Our Building Futures Initiative POC was proven a success, and we’re preparing for version 1.0.0 (Stable). Future projects will be delegated to experienced managers, with a focus on a female-majority leadership team for better decision-making. Roles are open now!

I fancy myself a creative and have been a syseng for like a decade, but so far, one of my toughest battles has been figuring out how am computer work to submit my application to this grant. Not the writing. Not the meat on the bones of this thing, but clicking submit. Got damn ain't it fun? https://lnkd.in/gpEVJ5ev

Hm. Not usually the type for this, but I’ve gotta give Delaware, Utah, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Enbridge Gas, and Rocky Mountain Power some money to make this weird experiment work, so please vote for me to get paid to hang out with some random old dude. https://lnkd.in/gfWebPns?

So, yeah... need a hand here...

Repost: As this is being shuffled back into place (still pissed because of the minute-by-minute schedule for deployment on August 7, 2024 being forced to be redeveloped with more man hours I don't have and with increasing expense to life and finance since then), please hit the cute little pre-registration for access to electives and extra-cirriculars that was thrown up a couple of months ago at https://lnkd.in/gvnXxvHa.   For best performance, access via a desktop or tablet (it still works on phones, but it's just not as cute… this is why a dev that wants to spend more time on this ought to be churning shit like this out, but oh well, it gets the point across).

Think of it as a mix of Xavier's X-Mansion and Magneto's Asteroid M. IYKYK.
