FYI-Looks like a great opportunity.

Dear Friends,

We at the DataCenter will be offering our 7th annual Research Justice Training Academy (February 20 - 21, 9am - 5pm) - an intensive, hands-on, capacity building program created specifically for community organizers and advocates for environmental justice and health. 

• Does your organization want to design and conduct your own research, on your own terms? 
• Want to learn investigative campaign research techniques and social science documentation methods to to strengthen the impact of your social change strategy?
• Are you interested in developing your organization's capacity to proactively engage in or initiate research partnerships with allied academics and researchers?

DataCenter believes that community-driven research and data-collecting skills, guided by strategic assessment of expert community knowledge/ information tools needed to advance organizing strategies, can help communities take strategic action, develop grassroots leadership, and build grassroots political power.
