| EQUITABLE GROWTH FOR THE RESEARCH TRIANGLE REGION (North Carolina)
PolicyLink and PERE's Equitable Growth Profile of North Carolina's Research Triangle region reveals something shocking: in 2012, the 13-county regional economy would have been nearly $20 billion stronger in 2012 if it were not for large racial economic gaps. The profile shows demographic trends and offers strategies to improve economic outcomes for the region.

UPCOMING REPORT
"Talkin' 'Bout Our Generations"
Bridging the racial generation gap is about strengthening the American future. But this gap is too often approached from a fear-based reality instead of a fact-based one. PERE's upcoming report, "Talkin' 'Bout our Generations: Data, Deliberation, and Destiny in a Changing America," applies an equity lens to a data-driven approach. This method can help regional leaders see shared challenges and start reconnecting across differences towards new possibilities. Stay tuned next week for a special "PERE eBulletin" announcing the official release!

ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE SCREENING METHOD (EJSM)
Webinar on May 13, 2015
Over the last seven years, PERE has worked with environmental justice communities and public agencies to develop the Environmental Justice Screening Method (EJSM)—a mapping method that identifies communities in California facing the highest cumulative impact of environmental hazards, health risks, and social stressors.
We invite you and community stakeholders, researchers, and government agencies to join us for a webinar on Wednesday, May 13th, 2015, from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. PDT. In this webinar hosted by PERE with the California Air Resources Board (CARB), we will highlight recent methodological improvements, new approaches to gauging and improving data accuracy, and the incorporation of new data on climate change vulnerability and drinking water quality.
We will also compare results using regional and statewide scoring approaches, compare the EJSM to alternative screening methods (like the CalEnviroScreen 2.0), and discuss EJSM's implications.
