Possibility Lab

We were proud to partner with the @calcivilrights #CAvsHate team in analyzing their first year data on hate incident reporting. Check out this online digital data summary highlighting key findings from the CA vs Hate data: cavshate2024report.com

Today we gathered to celebrate one year of CA vs Hate! When we launched last May, we wanted to help all Californians feel safe in the face of hate. Now, we’re proud to say CA vs Hate has taken more than 1,000 reports across the state. (1/3)

Thank you @ucpossibility for hosting this informative event!
