Monterey County: From Disenfranchisement to Voice, Power, and Participation
This report explores key questions that can be used to inform racial equity efforts in other communities across the country. What does it take to engage in authentic collaboration? How do government agencies repair the harms they’ve exacerbated in Black and Brown communities to build a new path towards the future? Monterey County: From Disenfranchisement to Voice, Power and Participation offers lessons from the ongoing process in Salinas, and shows one community’s model for contending with historical disinvestment and inequities perpetuated by government systems and other institutional players.

Reading community food needs assessment
At The Food Trust, I worked on spatial analysis (ArcGIS) and demographic analysis for this report, commissioned by the Reading Health System to look at challenges and opportunities for improving food access in priority zip codes across the City of Reading, Pennsylvania. This report provides a snapshot of the community’s need and resources and provides recommendations to help inform and guide the process of making meaningful decisions that will impact the health of residents in the City of Reading. The Reading Community Foods Needs Assessment includes a high-level analysis of demographic information, existing food retail locations, and plans for identifying potential healthy food infrastructure.
