Bridging Partnerships & Strategies
Bridging governmental public health and social justice movements to build community power
We foster meaningful partnerships between governmental public health and community power-building organizations.
Partnerships are a critical space to shift power and deepen democracy and co-governance between government and communities. Together, we can harness “inside/outside strategies” to build collective power and drive impactful structural change.
We’re building a world where community organizing and governmental public health sectors are strategically aligned, with each using its particular power, voice, and resources towards shared goals — ultimately transforming our public institutions to be accountable to community needs and community-driven decision-making.
