As we continue to confront deep structural inequities tied to health, opportunity, race, and place in our nation—all compounded by COVID-19—how does building community power offer a roadmap up and out? How does power catalyze, create, and sustain conditions for healthier communities? How is it built and how does it shift over time? How does it go beyond community engagement and how can it be measured?
Lead Local, a collaborative effort funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, brought together well-respected local power-building leaders and practitioners in the fields of community organizing, advocacy, public health, and science to answer these and other questions.
If you are working to advance health and racial equity, this deep dive into the diverse field of community power-building is not to be missed. In this four-part webinar series hosted with the USC Dornsife Equity Research Institute, you will hear directly from the Lead Local grantees and field partners—including city and state organizations that are mobilizing communities around issues ranging from transportation to housing, health care to labor rights.
