We bring together trusted messengers, youth leaders, public health champions, and community advocates to share stories, build alignment, and strengthen our movements.

‍

• Organize community-led Building Sessions where residents connect, heal, and identify local concerns and civic onramps (e.g. Merced Building Session in July)

‍

• Host regional fellowships and leadership development pipelines that support equity-driven public health leaders rooted in community

‍

• Ensure community members are not just included—but centered as designers, speakers, and decision-makers

“Isolation breeds fear. Connection builds power.”
