Our Impact Data chat in October focused on sharing recommendations around data visualizations for social impact. We had a rich conversation across sectors and organizations. Evaluators, researchers and program officers shared new innovations, visuals, and experiences related to using data to visualize social justice, human rights and climate justice outcomes. Below we share a list of the resources shared in that session.
