You're already advancing health equity—this session will help you extend that impact into local decision-making spaces. Led by One Colorado’s Political Director Dr. Jax Gonzalez (they/them), this interactive workshop offers accessible, nonpartisan tools for engaging city councils, county commissions and public agencies. Through real-world case studies, participants will power-map local systems and identify concrete entry points for influence. Each attendee will leave with a personalized action plan tailored to their specific work, whether it involves joining a government community advisory board, building relationships with the local school district, or offering their expertise through public comment.. Advocacy isn't about doing more—it’s about using your expertise where it matters most.
