“The people closest to a problem are often closest
to the solution.”
The People’s Health Project is built on a simple belief: communities understand the health challenges they face better than anyone.
Our Community Advisory Council brings together individuals from across the country who are closely connected to their communities and want to help ensure that community voices shape the movement for health fairness.
Council members help identify emerging health challenges, share insights from their communities, and provide guidance to ensure the People’s Health Project remains grounded in real community experiences. Specifically, they:
• share insights about health challenges affecting their communities
• identify issues that may warrant advocacy campaigns
• provide feedback on initiatives and priorities
• connect the People’s Health Project with community leaders and organizations.
Participation typically involves occasional virtual discussions and sharing perspectives as issues arise
*You do not need formal public health training to participate. Lived experience, community involvement, and local perspective are incredibly valuable.
