Nurtured policy partnerships to emphasize the intersections between public health and racial justice.

We redesigned our Policy Portal to share specific advocacy actions across our intersecting policy priorities. As we continued to deepen our federal policy partnerships to emphasize the alignment across public health, racial justice, social justice, and civil rights priorities, we also strengthened our own accountability. The portal reflects our commitment to “show our work” toward greater accountability and transparency as we learn from our partners and strengthen our own advocacy practices. From our efforts to secure increased funding for a public health approach to community safety to our support of immigration justice, we were guided by the values of interdependence and collective action, and the vision of our policy partners, including the Community Safety Working Group, Community Justice Action Fund and INVEST IN US Coalition, and the Children Thrive Action Network.

Funders: Prevention Institute relies only on unrestricted funds to support our limited grassroots and direct lobbying efforts. Non-lobbying support to expand our partnerships and networks was provided by The Jacob and Valeria Langeloth Foundation and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
