SUMMARY:Using GIS Maps to Advocate for Healthier Communities
DESCRIPTION:Maps have been at the forefront of decision-making for centurie
 s. From John Snow's cholera map of 1854 to New Deal-era redlining maps\, t
 hey have played an instrumental part in decisions that have had long-lasti
 ng impacts on communities. In this webinar\, we will demonstrate how geogr
 aphic information systems (GIS) can reveal relationships between geography
  and health (in)equity\, and how community members can use their own maps 
 to advocate for policy changes that promote community health and wellness.
 \n\nTopics discussed will include:\n\n 	What differentiates "policy maps" 
 from a regular map\n 	Examples of current and historical maps that have ha
 d long-lasting consequences on policies\n 	Practical application of data i
 n maps to inform decision-makers on matters of health and social equity\n\
 nThis webinar is intended for community members and coalitions interested 
 in using geospatial data to form the basis of policy advocacy campaigns.\n
