Biden's Equitable Data Working Group is a great initiative. @KregSteven, @ClaireMKBowen and I recommend they consider 5 key issues:
1. Quality, fairness + accuracy in Census
2. Better data sharing
3. Community engagement
4. Innovative methods
5. Privacy

A great post from our friend @thebmbennett, Data Director for @sunrisemvmt, on how "progressive data" is different from Data Science™ in the for-profit tech world. It feels very analogous to our journey from climate advocacy into energy data wrangling: brittanybennett.com/post/doi…

Like a lot of my work, it wouldn't be possible without the good folks @wprdc. They host the assessment data from the county, have helpful data dictionaries, and have good answers to weird questions.

Data nerd alert! Ever wonder how folks decide on their data sharing policy?
We share our process for updating the Education Data Portal's data policy and terms of use in our latest blog, drawing on many other experts' best practices in the field. urban-institute.medium.com/h…

I wonder if we'll ever have a public, national dialogue about the use of free cloud services by our governments and what is being traded away. For example: Google Analytics (GA). 1/

218 days ago the first task force report was created & privately shared with governors
31 were produced & never shared publicly
Withholding data allowed elected leaders to call COVID a hoax & people believed it
Big day! The reports are now public! 🙌🇺🇸

Anyone in the Pittsburgh area finding themselves trying to schedule/help schedule their older parents or grandparents for vaccine appointments, due to tech confusion? I'd love to talk with you for a possible story. DM or email [email protected]

Thanks to my @urbaninstitute colleagues for making this open source to encourage more places to dig into their data for bias (in the data itself or in the real-life provision of amenities and services).
FACT: Cities need data to drive decisions & measure program outcomes.
However, cities often face challenges embedding equity into their data.
See how a new data equity tool is changing that from @DataSmartCities: buff.ly/3eTX4Rt

Great recommendations on how to make data a more powerful force in federal govt by tying to priorities, improving quality of data, using it to drive better outcomes. Thanks Kathy Stack and @andyfeldman
How can the Biden team make federal performance reporting efforts (GPRA) much more useful and impactful? Today in @GovExec, Kathy Stack and I discuss why reform would be valuable and offer four recommendations to OMB. govexec.com/management/2021/… @neeratanden @napawash

President Biden's new EO on school re-opening creates a pathway for establishing a new School Pulse Survey. The @DataCoalition started calling for the establishment of this survey during the Trump Administration, 3 months ago. Great to see progress! datacoalition.org/an-open-le…
