We're grateful to have contributed to this month's @CSPI blog and to share a glimpse of what it looks like to begin to build advocacy from the ground up.

It begins with creating space for community voices and helping people recognize the power they already have to shape healthier communities. We're honored to be learning as we continue to work to lay the foundation. Thank you to CSPI for the opportunity to highlight this work. We hope it encourages others to invest in community-led advocacy and reminds us that meaningful change starts with people.
