#607 Online: Counting Trucks for Environmental Justice: Data from the Ground Up

The presenters will explore the urgent environmental and public health concerns that inspired this innovative project, and how the Chicago Truck Data Portal emerged from grassroots community science efforts in Little Village. By connecting quantitative data with the lived experiences of residents, this portal serves as a vital tool for empowering local communities. They will highlight how the traffic data— for example, showing over 5,000 trucks and buses passing through an environmental justice neighborhood daily— has fueled community-driven advocacy, informing federal policy proposals, and amplifying voices in long-overlooked areas.

#606 Online: Open Hack

There will be no presentation this week. Instead, we're going to have an Open Hack. Join our 7pm open Zoom call for introductions, socializing, announcements and breakout groups.
