Current Initiatives

What do we do better than others? We work to truly center community voice. We connect community expertise with data and processes that are typically gatekept. We want community to have access and be empowered in issues that impact them. Our research is intersectional, based in an understanding of race as socially constructed, and designed to move actionable change forward rather than being kept to ourselves
