@routefifty @ZachMarko @JPAL We in @KingCountyWA are committed to using evidence to advance our ambitious climate equity goals. We challenge other local governments to do the same, so we can learn better and faster what works best for the communities we serve.

@Results4America @robertmgordon @WhiteHouse So grateful to our own Senator @PattyMurray and our wonderful partners @Results4America for their leadership on evidence-informed policy making to advance equitable outcomes.

[Carrie S. Cihak @cscihak]

@Results4America @robertmgordon @WhiteHouse We have the same focus here in @KingCountyWA at the local government level!

@project_evident @BrookingsPress As a contributing author, I’m excited to share this volume! So many wonderful contributions and authors that I’m looking forward to reading!

[Carrie S. Cihak @cscihak]

@JPAL I love this blog post. If we are focused on learning, and not proving a hypothesized result, then null results have a lot to teach us. We need a Journal of Null Results!

[Carrie S. Cihak @cscihak]

@Results4America @JPAL_NA .@KingCountyWA is excited to be part of this cohort!

[Carrie S. Cihak @cscihak]

@KingCountyWA I’m so proud @KingCountyWA is my work home - I get to work with so many amazing colleagues with whom I share this recognition! @kcemployees

[Carrie S. Cihak @cscihak]

.@agamoran Made a wonderful closing comment on a panel @JPAL_NA that we can’t just focus on delivering effective programs focused on individuals; we must find ways to address the underlying structural conditions that have created inequities in the first place.

[Adam Gamoran @agamoran]

One key concern for economists is to deepen the conceptualization of race and racism: not just a variable in an equation, but a process that needs to be unpacked and challenged. My colleague @jci504 has written about this for @wtgrantfdn https://t.co/bgWj8nIHmv

[Carrie S. Cihak @cscihak]

@Results4America @JPAL_NA Evidence building is a team sport and I am so grateful to @Results4America for your partnership - and for introducing me to @JPAL_NA oh so many years ago!

[Carrie S. Cihak @cscihak]

So exciting to see so many partners IRL at the @JPAL_NA 10th Anniversary event! @Arnold_Ventures @project_evident @OESatGSA @Results4America @LEOatND @gatesfoundation @USTreasury

[Carrie S. Cihak @cscihak]

Thank you @JPAL_NA for the recognition and for working with me and so many partners on advancing evidence and equity. https://t.co/Gmtbk3xfpr

[Carrie S. Cihak @cscihak]

As the @JPAL_NA inaugural Partner #EvidenceChampion I challenge us as an evidence-building field to center racial equity in our work. That means a few things to me. Of course it includes diversifying perspectives and who is included in the field.

[Carrie S. Cihak @cscihak]

At those times, it is helpful to remember that it is the status quo policies, processes, and practices that have created racial inequities. And that means we CAN advance equity by working in a different way.
