A Critical Tool in the Fight for Equity: The Bay Area Equity Atlas

People. Place. Power. These are the themes that came through loud and clear four years ago when we launched a project to listen to communities throughout the Bay Area. People told us they needed access to opportunities, a place to call home where they felt a sense of belonging, and political power to advance equitable policies. These needs became the pillars of the San Francisco Foundation’s commitment to equity.

Community organizers told us that they needed timely and reliable data to support equity campaigns. Despite having organizing power, campaign leaders struggled to find and disaggregate data to effectively convey the vast inequities in the region. It was based on that feedback that the idea for the Bay Area Equity Atlas first took hold. Over the past four years, we have worked closely with community leaders to develop a comprehensive and easy-to-use data and policy tool to help create a more equitable Bay Area.

Beyond data, the Bay Area Equity Atlas also offers policy solutions and stories. We’re excited to see how this new tool will empower changemakers to move hearts and minds and help create a more equitable Bay Area where everyone can thrive.
