Why Everyone Wins When NYC Embraces Disaggregated Data

Interested in how NYC can better collect demographic data by ethnicity? The Coalition for Asian American Children and Families (CACF) will present on the critical importance of disaggregating demographic data by ethnicity for Asian communities in NYC and convene a engaging discussion for diverse stakeholders across communities, agencies, elected officials among others to brainstorm how we can collaborate together on making disaggregated ethnicity data a reality for NYC. For over a decade, CACF has led the Invisible No More Campaign, fighting for disaggregated data, steering a coalition of diverse partners across communities and industries that successfully garnered the NYC’s 2016 demographic data laws and NYS’s first-ever Asian American and Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander data disaggregation law in 2021. CACF is focused on ensuring that implementation of ethnicity-based data disaggregation leads to the data representation that all communities urgently need and deserve.
