• Update: For my Wikipedia project I will be working on the page Eviction in the United States. My goal is to improve the article’s quality by expanding previous sections, adding relevant research, and editing for grammar, clarity, and focus. I will specifically be working on expanding the section "disproportionately impacted evictees" and adding new information on the eviction process, causes of eviction, and the United States eviction crisis.
