It’s time for more representative data standards. We use data to make critical recommendations for our communities and when communities aren’t counted, their stories can become invisible. That’s why Detroit Future City is joining other Michigan organizations and leaders to push for a more representative data standard. On our surveys and forms, you'll see improvements to the way we ask race and ethnicity questions. These changes help us understand whom we're currently serving and what communities we're missing, and helps us plan for a stronger future. Take action with us! https://bit.ly/3MAnR7i
