| 'Tis the season... for year-end top 10 lists, PERE/CSII friends!
Without a doubt, 2014 was a pivotal year for environmental justice, regional (and national!) equity, immigrant integration, and social movements.
As December winds down, we pause to reflect and celebrate wins, to re-strategize around setbacks, and to recharge for the year ahead.
With gratitude to allies like you, PERE/CSII presents this list of the 10 most popular eNews features and highlights from 2014!

IMPACTING
IMMIGRANT INTEGRATION
With a national spotlight on immigration policy, it was a big year for research partnerships at CSII. Our citizenship data played a role in the new Cities for Citizenship initiative led by the Mayors of NY, LA, and Chicago. We also continued to work nationally, across the state, and locally to advance immigrant integration.

Two of our Twitter accounts hit major milestones with nearly 1200 followers each (and still growing!). Our newest account by @Prof_MPastor, captures some particularly priceless moments. Prof. Pastor has honed the skill of the digital art form known as the “selfie”. (View a sampling with staff, a personal hero, and hard hats!)

EMPOWERING EQUITY ADVOCATES
In partnership with PolicyLink, we unveiled the National Equity Atlas. The Atlas offers interactive data tools that community leaders and policymakers all over the country can use to advance racial equity and inclusive growth.
