Candid’s Post

At The Presser Foundation, we've talked a lot about Candid's efforts related to demographic data collection and even hosted a Next Movement about it. We believe that collecting these data points will help make the sector more equitable in the long run. If you're an organization wanting to learn more and/or to understand the complexities of this work, consider attending this upcoming webinar. https://lnkd.in/dU7UJwZj

Data-driven decision making is crucial for equitable recovery and active conversations about data can help create more fruitful discussions and informed decisions. Data Chats allow communities to have deeper and more accurate conversations about the needs of residents and facilitate data-driven community action. In this article, Data You Can Use in Milwaukee shares how their Data Chats helped them effectively engage with residents, built capacity for residents to engage with local officials, and helped create long-term COVID-19 responses and solutions.   Learn more about how Data Chats can help improve outcomes here: https://lnkd.in/gmpayZ5z    #DataEquity

In our latest blog post, Gregg Orton, Karthick Ramakrishnan and Akil Vohra coauthor an important piece that sheds light on a pivotal moment in federal policy on data collection relevant to communities of color — and why the federal government needs to take action right now to address this pressing issue. The last time the federal government revised its race and ethnicity standards across all federal data collections was in 1997 — nearly 30 years ago. It’s past time for updated guidelines, and to ensure timely and effective  implementation informed by community expertise. Read the full blog post to understand the depth of these proposed changes and how they pave the way for a more inclusive and equitable society: https://lnkd.in/gc55drz4

"Survey data can provide meaningful insights to public sector agencies. It’s one of the most powerful tools to serve your community. Public sector agencies have multiple objectives. Gathering actionable feedback is essential to help you reach your goals." Should governments do their own national surveys (election style: all citizens called to do the survey) to know better their citizens concerns and with that, bridge the gap between politicians and citizens and, strategize better?

I have often referred to and used the excellent data, commentary and analysis that can be found at the Pew Research Center website. I saw this over the weekend and please note that the text and graphic are © Visual Capitalist, 2024. All Rights Reserved, used with permission. I have also often posted and commented on the enormous (and seemingly growing) divide and discourse in the United States today. Their data on net favorability rating confirms this without any question. The charts depict the net favorability ratings of 16 federal government agencies, based on the respondents’ party affiliation. To find this data, Pew Research Center surveyed more than 10,701 adults, between March 13-19, 2023. The partisan divide in America has also hit how positively Democrats and Republicans feel about key government agencies. The division is deepest for the CDC, the EPA and the Department of Education, where the difference in net favorability is as high as 70–100 percentage points. How was this data collected? Pew Research recruited respondents for their survey panel through a national, random sampling of residential addresses. The panel is weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population. What is net favorability? For example: 80% of the Democrats rated the CDC “favorable” and 15% rated it “unfavorable.” The CDC’s net favorability with Democrats is 65%.  Seems like the only thing we do all agree on in the United States today is that we disagree on just about everything including our governmental agencies.

National CAPACD applauds today's announcement from the Biden Administration of revisions to Statistical Policy Directive No. 15 (SPD 15): Standards for Maintaining, Collecting, and Presenting Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity. This monumental update, the first in over two decades, will provide a greater and more detailed understanding of America’s diverse population, which is a significant step towards a more inclusive and equitable society.
