Data For Democracy Monthly Roundup: March 2018
Each week the D4D community gets a newsletter detailing events and announcements going on in the community. If you are not yet a member, come join 3400+ volunteers who are using data science skills to do tech for good.
Some highlights from March are:
AMA with Mona Chalabi (The Guardian) and Derek Willis (ProPublica) on Data Journalism
