Our Work Together
We end this Toolkit at the beginning. This work is big, messy, and can feel glacial. All you can do is
get started.
While building and maintaining data infrastructure is an inevitable and essential project of our time
that allows agencies to share and use data in new ways, racial equity and community voice have
rarely been centered in these efforts. We envision data integration and use as a means to confront
racism, expose injustice, act on our shared values, and elevate lived experience. We aim to use
collective knowledge and skills to advance government transparency and accountability in data use,
which is critical to building trust, community well-being, and improved outcomes.
OUR WORK TOGETHER
We encourage you to use the resources, stories, and Companion Workbook shared here to shift
your awareness and practice toward actualizing a data infrastructure that centers racial equity. We
believe our work together can support sustained investment in government and community capacity
for collaboration around ethical data use.
We encourage you to share your experiences in doing the important work of centering racial equity
throughout the data life cycle. Contact us at www.aisp.upenn.edu, so we can learn alongside
agencies and continue to share best practices and Work in Action.
