Candice Mays, Mapping Black California Project Director, and associate(s) will present on Leveraging Web3 to Combat Racism as a Public Health Crisis.

The release of Mapping Black California's (MBC) Combating Racism<https://combatingracism.com/> platform is the second iteration of our Racism as a Public Health Crisis database in our effort to ensure the promises made in these declarations become action via the exploration and integration of Web3 technology.  In partnership with the Starling Lab for Data and Integrity, MBC's Combating Racism as a Public Health Crisis platform has leveraged this burgeoning technology to centralize all of the declarations and any corresponding tweets pertaining to those declarations as a resource and accountability tool for community members. Thanks to buildout assistance from Esri, users can navigate this fully integrated platform via the map and access the corresponding four article series written by Black Voice News’ reporter, Breanna Reeves.

Candice Mays serves as Mapping Black California’s Project Director. She has a diverse professional background in grassroots nonprofit organization management, development, and grant making, as well as in teaching in public schools and writing fiction. Her research experience includes conducting cultural and historical analysis of Louisiana Creoles reflecting the content of her fiction which critically examines multi-cultural, African American existence in non-inclusive spaces. Candice seeks to humanize GIS by mining narratives from data on all things historical, Californian, and most importantly, Black.

Candice first presented at one of our meetups in November 2020 – we are excited to welcome her back!

The meetup will start with announcements of general interest, including news about UC GIS Week<https://uc-gis-ucop.hub.arcgis.com/pages/uc-gis-week-2024> and other GIS Day events.
      
Feel free to forward this invitation to anyone who may be interested.

I hope you’ll be able to join us!

Best,
