Title: Willful Ignorance: Congressional Efforts to Stop Federal Geographic Data Collection on Racial Disparities and Affordable Housing
Leaders: Wangyal Shawa and Bill Guthe
Description: The teach-in will describe geospatial data and discuss the impact losing such data would have on society and on research communities if House Bill 482 and Senate Bill 103 are passed. The bills propose that “[n]otwithstanding any other provision of law, no Federal funds may be used to design, build, maintain, utilize, or provide access to a Federal database of geospatial information on community racial disparities or disparities in access to affordable housing.”
