In today's world, where misinformation and AI-generated content are everywhere, local governments and communities face new challenges in making fair and effective decisions. Adding to these challenges is the removal of data resources that have been compiled and maintained at the federal level, and the general politicization of data.

This webinar will explore how bringing data justice perspectives into policymaking can help build trust, promote accountability, and create policies that truly reflect the needs of all residents. We'll look at how citizen-generated data, local knowledge, and community voices can expand the idea of "evidence-based policymaking" beyond numbers alone. Join us to learn practical ways to make data work for people and to reimagine democracy at the local level.
