DACA Renewal Visualization #27

Closed jtorrez closed 6 years ago

jtorrez commented 7 years ago

The NILC has requested a visualization for the DACA Renewal Status Data they have provided us.

In particular, they are interested in a visualization of the distinction between those DACA recipients who are able to renew and those who are not. People whose DACA expires before March 5th can still renew, though at the moment they have to do it before the Oct. 5th deadline, whereas people whose DACA expires after March 5th can never renew again.

Please reach out to me in the #immigration-connect channel in Slack or DM me @jtorrez if you have questions. Patrick, our contact at the NILC, is @pato1974 in the Slack channel, you can also contact him directly for more direction.

UPDATE(12/3/17):

Please see @pato1974's comment for the current ask, delivery of a finished visualization is an urgent need that should be completed ASAP.

UPDATE(12/5/17):

Removed old data pdf and replaced it with most current data, per @pato1974's ok in the Slack channel.

@jtorrez I'd be happy to look into this. I'm new to this community, can you send me an invitation to the slack group? Thanks!

jtorrez commented 7 years ago

Hi @aliang5, sent an invite to the email address you have on your Github profile. Let me know if I should send one to a different address! And feel free to get started on the project, just let me know if you have any questions or I can help in any other way!

I would love to give it a shot. I don't necessarily understand the entire dataset. In particular, the No renewal pending category. What does that mean?

jtorrez commented 7 years ago

@aminebouzaghrane It means they have applied for renewal and the application is pending. Let me know if you have any other questions, excited to see what you come up with!

bouzaghrane commented 7 years ago

@jtorrez so what's the difference between the third and second columns? I'm sorry, for some reason I just can't seem to wrap my head around the difference.

pato1974 commented 7 years ago

DACA is granted for 2-year periods, at the end of which a person can apply to renew their DACA for another 2 years. A person’s DACA comes up for renewal 120 days before its expiration. With that in mind, this data set pertains to the DACA submissions for renewal. The first column is the number of renewals that have been granted. The second column is renewal applications that are pending approval. And the third column is the number of people who have DACA but who do not have a renewal in process.

Hope that helps!

Patrick

@jtorrezhttps://github.com/jtorrez so what's the difference between the third and second columns? I'm sorry, for some reason I just can't seem to wrap my head around the difference.

@jtorrez, I'd love to try this one too. Thanks @pato1974 for explaining further.

jtorrez commented 7 years ago

@VdeGuzman would love another take on it, go for it! Let me know how I can support you!

biskwikman commented 7 years ago

@jtorrez, It looks like plenty of people have offered already, but I'm interested in giving this a shot. Are you still looking for help?

jtorrez commented 7 years ago

Thank you to everyone here for contributing to this project, @pato1974 is super busy right now and will be getting around to reviewing these as soon as he is able.

@biskwikman you are more than welcome to take a cut at this if you'd like to, the more potential visualizations we have the more ideas it might spark for everyone.

pato1974 commented 6 years ago

NILC really needs an animated visualization that shows how with each month/week/day (not sure by week and day is possible, but…), that people are losing DACA and therefore losing their status and becoming undocumented. This would use the same data posted here in this issue #27.

Mohamed's viz gave me the idea to have a visual of that data showing people falling from a vibrant color (i.e. good lives) to a greyscale/darkness (i.e. living in the shadows): https://public.tableau.com/profile/mohamed.amine4520#!/vizhome/DACAVisualization1/Dashboard)

Mohamed’s works with a slider, which would be fine too (allowing people to interact with it) except that it adjusts when you let go and the fields reconfigure to occupy the space, so the contrast between people who will lose DACA and those who have it still is entirely lost - particularly because the way his is now (as squares) doesn’t give you a visual sense of numbers or that we’re talking about people. So I thought it would be good to have an animated one to post online. Several groups have “tickers” that show how many people have lost DACA since Sept. 5th, but this would show how many people are going to lose it over time, in addition to how many have already lost it. And no one else has a visual - just a number i.e. “10,435 people have lost DACA” which is great but doesn’t tell the story as vividly.

Please contact me @pato1974 on Slack if you're interested. Thank you for all of the amazing work you do!

Submitted a PR for the latest version of the code to make the plots. They have been strung together in Gimp to make a gif that's posted on the Slack and awaiting feedback.
