1. Strengthening nimble, durable, cross-movement coalitions

Submissions should demonstrate, specifically, how coalition structures and relationships support short- or long-term civic and health equity capacity. Examples include:

• How multiple organizations, movements, or sectors collaborated to address a challenge, respond to a crisis, or advance health equity.
• Evidence of coalition durability, such as shared decision-making structures, trust-building practices, or agreements (e.g. memoranda of understanding, clarity of roles, conflict repair processes).
• Guiding attendees through a clear pivot point or pressure moment (e.g. disinformation spike, political tension, community conflict) and how the coalition held together when it otherwise might have fractured.
• Demonstrating community safety or civic engagement impact, showing how the coalition’s alignment supported healthier or more equitable outcomes.

2. Creating narrative strategies to counter misinformation and build collective will

Submissions should illustrate how you have used narrative strategy to:

• Tell a story of how your organization or community countered specific misinformation or a harmful narrative, or how you fought to support or oppose a proposed policy change, and what strategic approach you, your organization, or the community members used.
• Show examples of narrative alignment across partners—how organizations ensured coherence, shared values, or message discipline, and/or how the alignment bolstered a change to the law or other policies.
• Evidence of elevating lived experience, such as cocreated stories, community storytellers, or narratives rooted in authentic community voices, including using lived experience to further a legislative or other policy change.
• A description of public response or impact, such as reaching new audiences, changing perceptions, mobilizing action, strengthening trust, or using a specific strategy that moved the needle to accomplish a specific policy change.

3. Building intergenerational partnership and collaboration

Submissions should show:

• A specific example of how organizations, community members, or leaders across generations worked together to move a shared effort forward.
• How trust, clarity of roles, and collaboration practices helped strengthen the partnership over time.
• Examples of intergenerational learning, mentorship, or shared problem-solving that improved the work.
• Concrete collaboration approaches that helped people work more effectively together, especially during moments of tension, change, or uncertainty.
• Evidence that the partnership strengthened community connection, resilience, or impact.
