The Collective is developing an equitable research framework designed to guide community-engaged research in and with Black and Brown neighborhoods impacted by gun violence. This webinar explored the context that motivated the framework and its development, examined opportunities and challenges with using an equitable research framework, and provided concrete and practical examples of how the framework can be used and applied in community violence prevention research projects.
Ballot Measures: Advancing Health Policy through Direct Democracy
VirtualThe citizen-initiative process, also known as direct democracy, gives the people the power to directly propose and pass new laws or constitutional amendments (depending on the state) by putting them up for a vote at the statewide or local level. 25 U.S. states and the District of Columbia allow for citizen-initiated ballot measures, which have been used to advance a broad range of health policy goals, including reproductive rights, Medicaid expansion, gun safety reform, minimum wage increases, and paid leave. This webinar explored recent ballot initiative campaigns and highlight the roles of health funders in building community power through direct democracy. Speakers included Chris Melody Fields Figueredo of the Ballot Initiative Strategy Center, Becky Gould of Nebraska Appleseed, and Ashley Dietz of the Florida Philanthropic Network.
