Partnered in the Public Health for Community Power Coalition.

PI helped grow and strengthen the Public Health for Community Power (PH4CP) Coalition as a steering committee member and co-lead of the membership and resource development subcommittee. Launched in 2024  with catalytic support from Health in Partnership, PH4CP was formed in response to an urgent call from community power-building organizations (CPBOs) for the public health field to stand in solidarity with grassroots campaigns for racial, environmental, economic, and social justice. PI helped establish operating agreements, launch sub-committees, grow the membership, and develop a preliminary fundraising strategy. The coalition deepened relationships with CPBO-led campaigns and selected two long-term campaigns for engagement: rent control and Make Polluters Pay. We coauthored a brief—The Health Benefits of Rent Control—and laid the foundation for 2026, including planning for the Make Polluters Pay National Week of Action.
