In this session, developers of the Environmental Justice NYC report and online mapping tool will present their process of data gathering, organization, and visualization to empower New Yorkers with information necessary to advocate for and make more decisions about environmental justice in the city. We will also hear from community organizations about their work using such data to support their work developing advocacy tools such as community needs assessments. Come to learn more about data democratization and how it could apply to your local community.
