Accelerating Policy Change: The Power of Local and State Solutions

Description

You are invited to join The Power of Local & State Solutions — the kickoff webinar of ChangeLab Solutions’ new series Accelerating Policy Change! 

Why are local and state policy solutions essential in promoting community health and addressing the root causes of health inequities? What do partners in government, community, and other sectors need to know in order to develop effective, community-led health policies? 
 
This webinar will discuss the advantages of local and state policy solutions, detailing why local governments often serve as laboratories for policy change. A panel of public health leaders will share inspiring stories of local policy successes and examine fundamental concepts such as preemption and community engagement that will support you in implementing effective health policies in your own community.
