Stood up for equity and justice to achieve federal policy wins

In 2019, Prevention Institute and our partners advocated for and won increased federal funding for the CDC Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) program. PI also worked with the coalition of organizations that have temporarily blocked the implementation of a new “public charge” policy that would deny legal residency to immigrants deemed likely to rely on health-supporting government programs. We also submitted ten formal public comments; joined an amicus brief filed in five lawsuits; issued more than 20 calls to action through e-alerts and social media; and published two policy-related op-eds. NOTE: Prevention Institute relies only on unrestricted funds to support our limited grassroots and direct lobbying efforts.
