Data justice is a lens to evaluate the intended or unintended consequences of researching or collecting data on individuals and communities. Data justice values the dignity, privacy, and humanity of all people. Data justice is active resistance to all oppressive systems within the arena of data as a part of building a better world that promotes dignity, consent, truth, accountability, and learning. This work will be necessary as long as oppressive systems exist.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Readers can find more detailed information at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macc-mn.org\/WhatsNew\/DataJustice.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MACC website<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-does-data-justice-apply-to-the-beginning-middle-and-end-of-a-project-nbsp\">How does data justice apply to the beginning, middle, and end of a project?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the beginning of a project, it is important to pause and reflect on your processes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by identifying how the data you plan to collect will be useful to individuals, communities, the organization, and how it will be part of a specific utilization plan. Once you have articulated this, it will be your &#8216;why&#8217; statement, which answers, &#8220;Why collect this data?&#8221; Plan to share this why-statement with all partners and participants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, before starting the project it is best to limit the size and scope of your evaluation process as much as possible. Recognize that data has financial costs (wages for staff and technical infrastructure) and human costs (surveys can act as barriers to services, and can pose retraumatizing questions &#8211; do not do this). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point in the process, eliminate collecting data that do not serve participants and their communities. This could look like collecting data &#8216;just in case&#8217; or just because it would be &#8216;nice to have&#8217;. Ask yourself, &#8220;What would happen if we didn&#8217;t collect ___?&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve determined what you will collect, have sensitivity in evaluation design, questions, and purpose. Review materials for biases and potential to cause harm. Elevate diverse voices and perspectives, as well as accessibility and inclusion, at all stages. Prioritize evaluation that contributes to program improvement, equity, access, and organizational learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This might also be a moment to revisit your &#8216;why&#8217; statement In case your reflections have changed any of your answers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div \n   \n  class=\"wp-block-image mt-14 col-start-2 col-span-1 max-w-prose mb-14\"\n  data-block-index=\"2\" style=\"z-index:2;\"\n>\n  <figure class=\"\">\n          <div class=\"relative\">\n        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1799\" src=\"https:\/\/artsmidwest.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/358532363_643949427770389_3585632440011513732_n.jpg\" class=\"w-full\" alt=\"People sit in a group reading books.
