Senator Walter Rand Institute for Public Affairs denounces all forms of racism.

This study provides actionable and pertinent school district funding information.
WRI plots the progress of COVID-19 across counties in New Jersey. The plots, inspired by those at the New York Times, show deaths (y-axis) on a logarithmic scale over time (x-axis). A logarithmic scale shows different growth rates as lines of different steepness.
