Engagement for Equity

Centering community voice, building community power

Why Engagement for Equity?

The people who experience the greatest health inequities are routinely shut out of the decisions that most impact them. Engagement for Equity is about flipping that script and changing how public health professionals approach community engagement – embodying a way of thinking focused on shifting power to make and influence decisions.
