If you read the @mndailynews opinions section, you've probably seen Kelly Rogers' byline.
Rogers is a young housing justice advocate, communications manager for @MapPrejudice, and formerly the creative director for March for Our Lives NYC.

As a former geography teacher and self-proclaimed GIS nerd, I’m thrilled to proclaim today as Geographic Information Systems Day.
Here in Minnesota, we are using GIS to make state government more effective - whether we’re replacing lead pipes or expanding homeownership.
We see your messy “free maps” pile (we have one too) and we raise you this Little Free Map Library! Just in time for #GISDay!

It was such a pleasure to record this podcast on my work with @MapPrejudice , which studies the persistent effects of racial covenants on house prices and segregation in the 21st century. Also listen to other amazing papers on economic inequality at @InequaliTalks
