There has long been a committed, creative, and vibrant local DC scene despite the seemingly transient and politically dominated idea of our capital. WGIT spawned as a creative project to map all of the local organizations and resources DC had to offer. Browsing the events calendar and guidebooks is completely free. Sharing of events or items missed in the guidebooks is highly encouraged since WGIT aims to be a collaborative and communal project.

After realizing social media was a tool used to exploit human connection rather than nurture it and algorithms overengineered the task of getting involved and finding community, WGIT is an earnest attempt to connect residents and utilize technology as a tool to build community.
