Using Activism and Technology to Report on Inequities in Communities and take Action

Our Approach

At A•T•R•I•C•A•, we believe the best solutions begin with understanding. That’s why our process always starts with three steps: Discover. Assess. Report.

We work closely with communities and organizations, using data and lived experience to uncover inequities and expand access and opportunity. We assess needs and infrastructure, then report findings in ways that are clear, actionable, and community-centered.

As a result of this process, we’ve identified three core service areas that address urgent and ongoing needs across Washington, DC, Baltimore, and beyond.
