Hey everyone! DataMade is launching a new project called Chicago's Million Dollar Blocks <http://chicagosmilliondollarblocks.com/>. It shows spending on incarceration for every block in the City of Chicago. [image: Inline image 1] <http://chicagosmilliondollarblocks.com/> ChicagosMillionDollarBlocks.com <http://chicagosmilliondollarblocks.com/> Browse around the map <http://chicagosmilliondollarblocks.com/map.html> you'll notice that the neighborhoods on the south and west sides are disproportionately affected by the criminal justice system, especially when it comes to drug-related crimes. $550 million is being spent in one west side neighborhood alone, Austin. Imagine if we spent a fraction of this money to expand proven alternatives <http://chicagosmilliondollarblocks.com/#section-2> instead of paying billions to put people behind bars. The first step with this project is awareness. Sign up for our list <http://eepurl.com/btLEKf> if you're interested in helping out with justice reform in Chicago. -- Derek Eder @derekeder <https://twitter.com/#!/derekeder> [email protected] derekeder.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Chi Hack Night" group.
