Factual information is the quintessential public good, and yet underrated in many quarters as a philanthropic opportunity. Wherever you *think* you stand on criminal justice issues, it’s hard to accomplish anything without better basic information about crime trends.

It's Day 2 of #TribFest24, and we can't wait until today's discussion featuring our Co-founder John Arnold with Texas Tribune Co-founder Evan Smith. Be sure to follow Victoria Ludwin, Evan, Kevin Ring, Jennifer Doleac & Angela Landers for more insights from Austin 👀
