Wondering where to start?

Check out all the posts in D4PB's launch series, featuring three data practitioners at grassroots organizations in Minnesota.

• We Make the Road by Walking with Amity Foster of ISAIAH/Faith in Minnesota
  • Amity built her role at ISAIAH from scratch over ten years. Now she runs data operations for one of the most dynamic base-building organizations in the country, and personally I've never run into a movement data person who doesn't know her name.
• Hypothesize to Win with River Fiocco of TakeAction Minnesota
  • TakeAction, like many orgs, had a rocky road through the deep pandemic years, but they've emerged with a distinctive data culture rooted in clarity about the hypotheses they're testing at every level: from individual organizer workplans up through statewide electoral work. River's been in the thick of all of it.
• Trust First with Irving Vázquez of Unidos MN
  • Organizing communities where many folks are undocumented presents particular challenges for a data director—especially if, like Irving, your job is actually three or four jobs. To make the magic happen, Unidos focuses on the basics: building trust, good organizing, and the occasional unforgettable protest sign.
