Community Power

"The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any." - Alice Walker, American author, poet, and activist

We believe in nurturing community power, ensuring that people have a voice in the policies, programs, and practices that affect their lives. Our focus is on advancing positive social change by enhancing civic engagement, promoting racial and social equity, and influencing public policies. By addressing social determinants of health and well-being, we aim to create environments where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Supporting community-driven initiatives is essential for fostering connected communities and challenging inequitable systems. By empowering local efforts and responding to community needs, we can tackle the root causes of inequality. Engaging community partners allows us to help those affected by inequities develop their own solutions and take an active role in shaping the decisions that influence their lives, ultimately advancing social justice and equity for all.
