The speed of trust.. at the cost of what? Is this a real dichotomy? Question for Xavier

Or, text “MPHA21” to 44-321

Michael Curry often says "The People closest to the Pain need to be the People closest to the Power", related to Bryan Stevenson's stress on the importance of "Proximity" to understanding and to power. See one tweet re that here: https://twitter.com/LachlanForrow/status/1449368886034395139

Jeffrey Stout's book "Blessed are the Organized" reviews some of these principles in evidence-based detail after studying successful grassroots movements. See a tweet re this here: https://twitter.com/search?q=%40lachlanforrow%20jeff%20stout&src=typed_query

Good morning everyone. Is Vivian Morris present?! We worked on this issue when MPHA was considering the sugary drink tax policy.

Much of the work of CHEEA -- the Center for Health Equity and Advocacy at Cambridge Health Alliance -- is built on similar principles, focused on training health-related professionals in this kind of work. See https://www.healthequity.challiance.org/ and one upcoming course focused on racism that people can apply for here: https://www.healthequity.challiance.org/racisminmedicine

Another organization supporting this work is "Leading Change Network": https://leadingchangenetwork.org/ Dr. Pedja Stojicic of CHEEA, is one their advisory board: https://www.healthequity.challiance.org/pedja-stojicic

The AMA recently shared a very helpful guide on health equity language, narratives and concepts: https://www.ama-assn.org/system/files/ama-aamc-equity-guide.pdf

Question for Xavier: What needs to change for us to move towards authentic community engagement?

It does! Thank you. Incremental progress and marking that with partners and publicly.

How can we move a community of tenants who rent control doesn't exit and parents must work 2 jobs to be able to afford it, while children are being left alone for too long?

Example of community "owning" -- the new University of Houston medical school has community members on their _admissions_ committee! See here for more: https://twitter.com/LachlanForrow/status/1387159804427202565

I had a question I posted at 10:32

Very good question Marta! Hola Amiga.

Marias question is a good one. Wel its a series of questions and issues all in one

Excellent question!

City Life/Vida Urbana may be who you're thinking of?

Such a good question! A small stipend doesn't come close to enabling community members who are struggling to get by to find time to also be community leaders.

CityLife/Vida Urbana, they are having a Digital Action Hour right now!

City Life/ Vida Urbana

we have lots of good value good intentioned orgs. We do have a big challenge in terms of sharing constituents, resources, power etc. Big challenge in Boston

Thank you!!

Yes City Life/Vida Urbana

Thank you, Xavier…much to process and much to do…”working at the speed of trust

Thank you, Xavier!

should be our new guiding mantra!

Thank you, Xavier!

Xavier, thank you for wisdom shared and the resources from Praxis. Noreen Burke, Health Promotion, Ireland.

Thank you so much for your works!

Thank you everyone! And thank you for the invitation to share part of your morning with you.

This book "Evicted" by Matthew Desmond is a great book about housing issues. Good read for those interested.

<--- Second this book rec! 'Evicted' clearly spotlights the interconnected systemic and inequitable issues that contribute to the housing crisis.

sorry, pausing interpretation for a second here . Could we please slow down a bit? Thanks!

will these PPT's be sent to attendees?

Yes, all slides and resources as well as a recording will be sent out to all attendees.

The interpreter is struggling with the pace of Ms. Gaydos speech...please slow down so everyone can participate.

I would also appreciate a slower pace! It's hard to process even as an English language speaker.

Don't forget to ask questions in the Q/A section of zoom if you have them.

I haven't been able to understand a lot of her talk because of her speed and just the audio quality that is a problem with Zoom

It is also her volume level...she trails off at times.

Thank you Steven , Elizabeth, Linda, Stewart, Neil and everyone else for your donations…keep them coming!

All slide decks and a recording of the webinar will be sent out to all attendees after the event

Hi all, please remember to enter any questions you have in the Q&A!

If you have questions for Dwaign or Megan, don't forget to put them in the Q/A!

Thank you!

Thank you

Thank you!

Thanks for emphasizing the implementation and enforcement phases of policy work, so important

Thank you Dwaign for your valuable words on such an important issue

Thank you to all the presenters today - Great opportunity to shift some of our understanding on working with -- and building the power and capacity of communities.

Very insightful presentation! Definitely including community members is key in Moving at the speed of trust. Thank you!

Thank you to all the presenters today! Powerful messages and examples of how to engage community members effectively and authentically.

Excellent conversation. A hard reality is that power (and funding) is largely centered in the current sick-care system...which also controls the narrative via the health assessment process which frequently pays lip service to authentic community engagement (with very little accountability). Such power, to control the narrative, is rarely relinquished voluntarily.

Thank you to our wonderful speakers!

Thanks so much everyone for your great questions and to MPHA for the invitation to participate! I unfortunately have to jump off to help my kiddos who are at home sick today - but invite anyone to email me at megan@humanimpact.org with questions, comments or suggestions. Wishing you all wellness and connection!

Thank you for the great presentation and grounding in the principles of this long haul work for justice and racial equity in our world
