Los Angeles: Decriminalizing low-level offenses could reduce police interactions... if the police agrees & act accordingly. Which they often don't. In LA, the number of Black people arrested over marijuana increased the year after weed was legalized. xtown.la/2020/07/08/aft…

The Atlanta Police Department is 480 to 780 officers bigger than police departments in similar-sized cities. Bringing the APD in line with other cities per capita would save $60M annually. Use our budget advocacy tools to learn more: bit.ly/3dsWxE0 #policebudgets

Have been reading a lot about water #infrastructure lately. Not new but this article on Chicago’s flood mitigation investments is an in-depth look at how expertise can get it wrong if the set of experts are narrow & all agree.slate.com/business/2019/…

Highly recommend this 4-page review explaining how racialized regimes in (and beyond) the criminal justice system turn "justice-involved people into entry points for practices that drain resources from larger social networks." science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Students are obviously affected by factors outside of the education system. In a presentation to the Student Engagement & Attendance Center, I described how publicly available data on community context can help illuminate and address barriers.

Roar! 🦁 NY Public Library lovers, we’ve got GREAT news: Late fees are a thing of the past! Any late fees you’ve owed are gone, and you’ll never get another one again. If you’ve lost or damaged a book, just chip in the replacement fee and get back to borrowing. Happy reading!📚

Excellent reports & infographics from @AIRInforms re: their national survey on how public schools adapted to COVID-19. This kind of comparison is critical to understand different choices communities made & help anticipate the future of schooling. bit.ly/3lAnsVZ

Was v. surprised by today's Inquirer story about SDP plans to push start times earlier next year, for some high schools by 2 hours! Last yr, I helped put out data that might help folks figure out what any changes mean for them, using SEPTA schedules & kid addresses in 2018.

Bringing #equity into #opendata means thinking more critically about who the data is open for and what they need to use it.

Here you get the amount for your community. You can print it or make a PDF or email it. You can send it to those in power, rather than waiting for those in power to tell you how much money will be available (possibly after insiders have already decided how to spend it).
