NorthStar of GIS: NorthStar Horizon

Welcome to NorthStar Events, your source for promoting racial justice through GIS. We work to create a more equitable world for people of the Black / African diaspora through education, advocacy, and technology. We offer a variety of programs and events designed to showcase the talent and intellect of Black GIS students, educators, professionals, and entrepreneurs. NorthStar Events also highlights tech solutions for achieving racial justice. With our help, you can make a difference in the fight for equality. NorthStar Events are a program of the NorthStar of GIS, a 501c3 nonprofit working to create a racially-just world through a racially-just GIS. Across the GIS, geography, and related-STEM communities, we seek communities of practice that center racial justice and practitioners that reflect the Black / African diaspora. Visit us at gisNorthStar.org today and see how you can get involved. Thank you for your support!
