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.
- Coalition-Driven Policy Advocacymethodology: coalition-driven_advocacyBy co-creating coalitions and campaigns that integrate research, civic engagement, and direct advocacy, the organization advances policy change because collective, cross-sector pressure increases influence on decision-makers.
- Community-Centered Advocacymethodology: community-centered_advocacyBy creating spaces where the lived experiences of children, youth, and families directly inform policy-making, systemic change is more equitable and effective because it is driven by those most impacted.
- Data-Driven Systems Changemethodology: data_driven_advocacyBy using data from public agencies, geospatial analysis, and independent budget reviews to generate research and advocacy tools, the organization produces targeted policy interventions because empirical evidence reveals systemic inequities and leverages accountability.
- Equity-Centered Systems Reformmethodology: equity-centered_policy_advocacyBy advocating for anti-racist, culturally competent policies across housing, education, health, and economic security systems, the organization aims to produce equitable child outcomes because structural inequities are rooted in power imbalances tied to identity and history.
