Transparency & Accountability disrupting POLICY

Making data accessible in holistic narratives

Transparency and accountability impact policy by revealing how current policies disproportionately affect people of color. We drive system accountability by making data available and clear. Weaving data into stories makes impacts more tangible. 

This can look like:

  • Synthesizing data to make it accessible
  • Using data as part of storytelling to drive narrative
  • Pushing for data-driven policy

Consider:

  • What does our work make visible?
  • What stories does our data tell?
  • What data is not available and how might we access it?
