Celebrating Our Fellowship's Impact and Starting a New Chapter
In 2022, we launched the National Equity Atlas Fellowship, providing intensive data training to grassroots leaders of color across diverse issue areas. Across two cohorts, fellows developed impactful data visualizations and adeptly navigated challenging social and political shifts, illustrating the power of data-driven equity solutions to transforming communities across the nation. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of the fellows for embarking on this journey with us and sharing their reflections. Their insights have helped position us to forge a new path, strengthening our commitment to research justice and further empowering grassroots advocates to leverage data in advancing equity.
As we conclude our fellowship program, we are excited to share some initial insights that will inform and guide our future work. We also invite you to learn more about our second cohort of fellows and their work by exploring the 2024 Fellowship Showcase.
Delve into Insights from Our Fellowship
We see the seeds of change taking root. Looking ahead, our focus remains steadfast on enhancing the Racial Equity Data Lab to meet the evolving needs of communities and those who advocate for them. We are structuring future resources into learning arcs that address foundational data visualization skills, applying a research justice lens, and aligning data products to strategic stakeholder mapping. This approach aims to empower all Atlas users to deepen their data literacy autonomously, supporting a diverse range of data projects and roles within the advocacy landscape.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership as we advance our mission of leveraging data to advance equity and justice. Together, we look forward to shaping a more inclusive future.
Best,
The National Equity Atlas
