The power of parents, climate change solutions for cities, and more
<[link removed]>
John,
Did you know that parent groups are mobilizing to keep kids safe from gun
violence, and taking on Big Tobacco? Have you heard how cities are using data
to tackle climate change? Do you know what the future of fighting homelessness
looks like?
We had a chance to talk with leading experts and passionate advocates on all
of these issues recently as part of our Follow the Data podcast. Each episode
is an opportunity to learn more about global challenges we face -- and the
creative solutions being developed to help solve them.
Want to know more? Check out the playlist we put together:

parents about the dangers of e-cigarettes and advocates for legislative change
to protect minors from Big Tobacco.
