WHY DATA4AMERICA

America hasn’t been divided since the Civil War. To solve, it’s time to embrace purple.

America isn’t red or blue. It’s purple. And a near equal blend of both. Using a purple nonpartisan lens, Data4America is curating and creating data-driven content to help advance the understanding of the most divisive issues facing our country.

VIEWS

RED, WHITE, BLUE … AND PURPLE

We have more in common than realized yet we’re fiercely divided between red vs. blue. It’s time to embrace our purple.

Purple is the color we get when red and blue are mixed together. Once embraced, we can advance together.
