Grassroots organizers recognize the need for civic engagement and community-building to advance health justice and racial equity, as well as the importance of engaging community through a range of approaches. Voter engagement is incredibly important for legislative policy changes, and yet community-building includes many other meaningful strategies that authentically center marginalized voices in civic decision-making.
As we approach the 2020 elections, join this webinar to discuss:
Meaningful strategies for civic engagement beyond voting
The role of organizers, public health, and philanthropy in civic engagement
Praxis' Working Principles for Health, Justice, and Racial Equity
Speaker:
