Across the country, MADE Communities are developing local data ecosystems to generate, use, and govern civic data on their own terms to advance health equity and just decision making.

MADE Communities are making progress toward health equity goals by creating data ecosystems that address local priorities including educational attainment and economic mobility, environmental and climate justice, housing and the built environment, and employment access and opportunity.

Learn how MADE Communities are building on lessons learned and exploring new approaches to transform civic data in the de Beaumont blog post, “A People-Powered Path Toward Better Data: Insights from MADE for Health Justice.”

“The MADE for Health Justice grant accelerates a process that will have generational impacts on Baltimore youth and families. Our collaboration with Baltimore City government and Baltimore City Public Schools is built on a shared commitment to equity and access, and a shared belief in the brilliance and potential of young people across our city.”

“Making sure everyone, regardless of race or financial status, has access to equal health care is the best thing for the people who call Pittsburgh home. Removing the barriers whether seen or unseen allows residents the opportunity to have a full life.”

“The name of our project is Pima. Pima is an Indigenous word that means,”I don’t know.” This is very important for our project because we are collecting data from an Indigenous perspective to gather information that we need to know more about. Our Indigenous community will be leading the data collection, and this will make the data authentic in its representation of our community.”

Phoebe Cager, Health Services Director, Tucson Indian Center

“We have known for a long time that climate change and pollution are not affecting all of us equally. Communities of color and low-income folks are on the front lines experiencing higher temperatures, higher utility bills, greater exposure to unhealthy air, and more. A strong data ecosystem built by and for our communities will help us cultivate justice in a changing climate.”

Marcus C. Mundy, Executive Director, Coalition of Communities of Color
