Tomorrow is National Night Out: a once-a-year event where communities across the U.S. gather on their blocks to connect, celebrate, and look out for each other.

I just heard about one from Jack, the first person I ever onboarded to #BitChat. He’s starting his first year at UC Berkeley, and his neighborhood’s hosting a block party.

It got me thinking… what if this day became National BitChat Day, too?

It’s a day built exactly for neighbor-to-neighbor connection.

Front yards, grills, block parties. The ideal moment to talk local comms, off-grid tools, and digital sovereignty - casually, authentically, neighbor-to-neighbor.

If you’re attending a neighborhood gathering tomorrow, consider:

💬 Getting your neighbors on BitChat

📡 Helping folks understand that mesh + Bluetooth chat = resilience

🛠️ Offering a simple download (QR code or APK)

🕊️ Reframing it as “a tool for when you really need to reach each other and you'll wish you had when the grid goes down”

Or better yet - host a mini gathering yourself.

Doesn’t have to be fancy. A few neighbors and a conversation can go a long way.

This is where tech adoption actually happens:

Not through ads, but through real life, trust, and shared context.

BitChat is more than a chat app. It’s a trust tool. A backchannel. A bridge.

And this might be the perfect night to build those bridges.
