TUBMAN CENTER FOR HEALTH & FREEDOM

Policy & community advocacy - tubman health's policy team works closely with our research and clinical teams to identify community-generated solutions for health. We educate policymakers at all levels of government about approaches that support the health of marginalized communities - including championing the work of our community partners. We offer organizing and advocacy training to our partners, including introducing youth to health care policy and advocacy, and have built strong partnerships to advance equity- and justice-focused health policies.

Aahb (african american health board) has worked collectively to achieve health equity and justice by impacting policy, creating systems change, and demanding institutional accountability. They advocate for antiracists, accessible and community centered approaches to wellbeing. Ahshay (allies in healthier systems health and abundance in youth) has a mission to build up the fortifiers of hope and health for youth and unbuild the fortifications of youth incarceration through efforts of decommissioning youth detention centers.
