SPEAKING

jer-thorp_tcg18-1.png

“Jer joined us at our Data Disaggregation Action Network Convening in Detroit.  He captivated a roomful of advocates and government officials, all of whom are fighting for data equity.  His presence at our event made a deep impression on all involved and provided inspiration for future work. His views on how to think about and present data provided much food for thought, that continue to provoke discussion today and a week does not go by without his name and/or ideas popping up in conversation.” 

- Meeta Anand, Senior Director, Census & Data Equity, civilrights.org

"Jer spoke to our technology team at Vibrant Emotional Health, the organization behind the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, and changed how we think about the data we steward: not as records to manage, but as human stories that demand care. Thoughtful, funny, and deeply humane, he left our team energized and asking better questions about our work."

- Rita Ko, Chief Technology Officer, Vibrant Emotional Health
