Responding to the California Wildfires
As first responders continue to fight the wildfires in California, this week tech was at work supporting relief efforts. Tech companies also marked Veterans Day by honoring the brave men and women who have served in our military and showing some of the ways tech has helped them transition back to civilian life.
With just a few weeks left before Congress adjourns for the year, promoting innovative startups and modernizing the federal government's IT systems to make them more secure remain top legislative priorities. We continue urging Congress to pass the JOBS and Investor Confidence Act and funding for the Modernizing Government Technology (MGT) Act. See more below.
