How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Cultural Narrative Change Through Storytelling and Mediamethodology: cultural_narrative_changeBy shifting cultural narratives around care through personal stories, art, and media partnerships, we increase public recognition of care as a shared responsibility and drive policy change because narrative transformation precedes political will.
- Equity-Centered Systems Changemethodology: equity-centered_systems_changeBy repairing the care system for the most marginalized, we create a stronger universal infrastructure because equitable solutions for those with greatest need benefit everyone in the system.
- Integrated Policy and Grassroots Power Buildingmethodology: integrated_care_frameworkBy combining policy advocacy, research, grassroots organizing, and cultural strategies into a unified model, we produce systemic change because sustained reform requires simultaneous pressure across institutional and cultural domains.
- Lived Experience as Foundational Expertisemethodology: lived_experience_leadershipBy centering the leadership and voices of care recipients and caregivers in advocacy and strategy, we generate more authentic and effective change because lived experience is critical to designing equitable, functional care systems.
- Local-to-National Systems Transformationmethodology: local_to_national_policy_changeBy addressing care needs at the community level, we identify scalable models that inform national policy change because locally grounded solutions are more adaptable and politically viable when expanded.
