There’s growing global awareness that data/tech can address or exacerbate inequity. That’s why we launched the #DataValues Project.

In this year's #Data4SDGs survey, partners emphasized the need for a common vision for data ethics, rights, + governance. What they had to say 👇🧵

[Kareem Carr, Ph.D. @kareem_carr]

Data is almost always political. Very few people bother with data unless they’re on a mission to prove some point.
