Equitable policymaking in rural communities: Charting a path forward

What policies and practices are states and localities implementing to advance racial, economic, and health equity for people living in rural communities?

What strategies are needed to make sure that BIPOC and other rural residents who experience marginalization are engaged in every step of the policymaking process? 

Join this webinar for a discussion of innovative policy strategies and solutions at local, regional, and state levels that have the power to create opportunity and health equity in rural communities. The speakers will discuss topics ranging from economic development to strengthening the workforce to the power of partnerships, with the aim of fostering greater collaboration and alignment across all levels of government.

This webinar is for anyone who wants to advance equity and opportunity in rural communities — including staff in government agencies; state and local policymakers; and community advocates.
