Thursday, November 6, 11:00 a.m. | Participatory Policymaking: Channeling Lived Expertise in Policy Development and Organizing
Join us for an intergenerational conversation with leaders in the work of participatory policymaking, working across issues related to racial identity and racial impact in social policy, youth justice and child welfare. Team members from Children’s Defense Fund-New York will share their practice of working with community to generate state-wide policy proposals and campaigns to advance racial equity, economic mobility, and support young people’s freedom from carceral systems and self-determination. Panelists will share actionable methods for collaborating with the community to develop breakthrough policy demands and campaigns, combining participatory action research, power-sharing with lived experts, and collective community action.
