Data for a cause challenge

As we all know, the world is obsessed with data. Each and every one of us can create, collect and consume information on just about anything. It is an exciting time to work in the field of data, and specifically data visualization. I've started the 2017 Data For A Cause Challenge. The plan is to assemble a small crowd of talented data wranglers, and reach out to folk working in NGOs and non-profits, to offer our help. Do you think you have the skills to create a visualization that inspires action? Are you a creative data visualization student in need of a portfolio to show to potential employers? Do you have time you could devote to the right cause? If so, take the challenge!
