Biden's Equitable Data Working Group is a great initiative. @KregSteven, @ClaireMKBowen and I recommend they consider 5 key issues:

2. Better data sharing
3. Community engagement
4. Innovative methods
5. Privacy

One of the greatest challenges I find in this field is the negative consequences our work has had historically.
Just because we have *good intentions* doesn’t mean the outcome of our work is shifting structural racial inequality.
Let’s name that while we commit to doing better.

Dear non-profit leaders, philanthropies, policy wonks, planners & community development orgs:

Beyond lip service, what are we doing to dismantle racism in our work, our organizations, & the communities we serve?

New research on social mobility is incomplete. Let’s shift the scrutiny from the plight of black people to the privilege of white people. We must end the policing of black love and marriage. brook.gs/2uoPfQ9 via @BrookingsInst #diversity
