Data Advocacy Policy (D.A.P.)

DAP is a committee of community leaders dedicated to gathering data, information, and personal stories from Black community members who have experienced injustice, including discrimination, racism, retaliation, and violations of rights in areas such as education, housing, employment, city and county services, healthcare, and the judicial system. For years, Black Americans have been treated as if their rights don’t matter. Economic instability often leaves many unaware of their rights or unable to afford legal representation when facing unfair treatment from those entrusted with protection and service.

Strategy

Our goal is to examine the policies that contribute to negative outcomes and propose legislative changes to improve conditions for people within our community. Many Black individuals have no one to turn to when their rights are violated. The lack of support and resources often leaves them feeling helpless, leading some to take matters into their own hands. This only perpetuates economic instability, passing it down through generations. At DAP, we are committed to listening to these stories, gathering the necessary data, and identifying the right solutions. We will connect community members with the resources they need to create change and secure a better future.

Site Information
About Beam
  • For the commercial sector, we tend to register startup activities (new companies and new commercial projects) that bring diversification and high-impact opportunities to the area.
  • For the non-profit sector, we wish to shine light on all the organizations and services that otherwise labor under relative obscurity.
  • Our hope is that dmcbeam.org will encourage cross-sector collaborations and creative solutions.

While there are a number of registries in the community, dmcbeam.org's  distinct value is to pilot a database with a data structure and categorizations that answer the questions such as: What organizations or projects/programs in our community that have purported relevance with some of the over-arching focuses put forward by initiatives such as DMC, J2G and Health Improvements?

This database could be used as one of the ways to explore the capacities of the community. If you are someone on an exploratory journey to learn about the greater Rochester community. dmcbeam.org could be an interesting first step.
