Data Activism: Turn Data Into Power

Most people get stuck being angry online. This one-day intensive walks you from “this is wrong” to a specific, data-backed ask delivered to the person who actually decides. You'll scope a vague grievance down to one issue, one decision-maker, one data source, and one deadline; pull real data.gov datasets and run real statistics on them without writing a line of code — learning which of eight methods answers your question, then directing an AI sandbox to run the Python while you keep the judgment. You'll package the finding into a one-pager and one honest infographic that survive a staffer's 30-second skim, bring a number that can't be spun away, and build the coalition and 90-day campaign that make your mailing list outlast you. Public data is leverage — this is how you use it.
