Data for Justice is a project of the ACLU of Massachusetts. We hope the project will arm activists, advocates, journalists, policy makers, and elected officials with relevant, timely information about how government functionsâso we can fix it when it doesnât.
Government transparency is a hallmark of a free, open, and democratic society. In a democracy, the people rule. But itâs hard to advocate for reforms or policy changes when we donât know what our government is doing.
We canât manage
what we donât measure.
