Data matters for building an equitable Bay Area. From informing the public debate to driving policy solutions, data broken down by race and geography is a key ingredient in advancing equity. Yet, even in the tech capital of the world, such data remains far too difficult to access and use.

Enter the Bay Area Equity Atlas – a new data tool launching on June 5, 2019. Produced by a partnership between the San Francisco Foundation, PolicyLink, and the USC Program for Environmental and Regional Equity (PERE), the Bay Area Equity Atlas equips community leaders with 21 powerful equity metrics and policy solutions for inclusive prosperity.

Join this launch webinar to take a tour of the Atlas and be the first to learn about our analysis of the diversity of elected officials in the region, based on a unique dataset assembled by the Atlas team.

Featured Speakers:

• Kay Fernandez Smith, San Francisco Foundation
• Manuel Pastor, Professor of Sociology and American Studies & Ethnicity Director and Directors, USC Program for Environmental and Regional Equity (PERE)
• Sarah Treuhaft, Managing Director, PolicyLink
