How can data help change the landscape for social justice and racial equity?
As a tool in the fight for social justice, data can help redesign systems where bias occurs, address cases of human rights abuse, and identify patterns of oppression. Join us to hear from leaders committed to doing just that and learn about their experiences using data to combat injustice, empower communities, and hold governments accountable.

Specifically, we’ll focus on:
- How social advocacy organizations use data to rebalance power, pass new laws, and lobby for change.
-The importance of community partnerships and sharing in advocating for change when the data alone is not enough.
- How data professionals can get started in contributing their skills, challenging imbalanced datasets, and working with advocacy groups in the fight for positive social change.

Finally, if you’re a warrior in the fight for social justice, we’ll help empower you with data and ideas to make your voice heard.
