Upcoming Events on Advocacy Strategies

Funder Briefing: Healthcare Access for Immigrant AANHPI Women+

As immigration enforcement intensifies and economic pressures mount under the newly passed tax bill, immigrant Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander (AANHPI) women face growing challenges to accessing affordable and culturally responsive healthcare and safety net programs. The increase in workplace raids and fear of detention and deportation has profoundly impacted AANHPI immigrants that many refrain from leaving their homes to seek medical care, go to work, or even attend school, deepening inequities in immigrant communities. This webinar will bring together policy experts, community leaders, and funders to discuss the critical role of Medicaid in immigrant communities with an emphasis on the intersecting effect of immigration status, gender, economic strain, and healthcare access.

Join us to explore actionable strategies for philanthropy to strengthen safety nets, advance immigrant health equity, and ensure that immigrant AANHPI women are not left behind during the changing political climate.

Mental Health Meets Firearm Safety: Innovative Strategies to Reduce Firearm Suicide

Firearms are involved in 55 percent of suicides in the United States, accounting for more than 27,000 deaths every year as documented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control.  Yet this crisis remains largely invisible in public discourse. This webinar makes the case that the tools to act are already within reach.

This webinar brings together practitioners, funders, and public health leaders working at the intersection of mental health and firearm safety. Hear how mental health systems can integrate firearm access screening across the continuum of care, and why culturally responsive assessments are essential to making these approaches effective and equitable. Learn from Stanislaus County’s firsthand experience adopting this model and join a candid conversation about the funding strategies, system changes, and community partnerships that make this work possible.
