WEBINAR: #CP4All: Civic Participation for All: Organizing Beyond The Ballot Box

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
