  • Movement Services Product Update

    Hey everyone—

    We hope you’re staying safe and cool during this hot, hot Rhode Island summer.

    The Movement Services team is hard at work continuing to build a suite of tools to help power our movement work over the summer and fall. We continue not just to build new tools, but also to iterate behind the scenes on boring-but-important data structures that will keep our records clean and our data safe, so you can focus on the important work of organizing.
