Data at work in a defined context. Our movements need to really connect and track data and contribute to community and allies understanding of the data. Time from 7:30 to 8:40 is amazing on the evolution of data enhancements and traffic mapping of engagement with the voters.
Important ideas in any organizing context...
- combined data creates new insights and "synthetic" data based on hard data. By collecting data and sharing the data, it is possible to create new actionable data pools.
- Carefully targeting allows movements to find new niches and audiences.
- Careful targeting requires data sharing.
- Syndicating data access can help drive new levels of power to all that have access to that data. Access to data is scalable.
This is a great presentation on the power of data. We need to continue to step up the tools and techniques that are available to allies working together on issues.
