Dear John,
Thank you for attending the second edition of our Indi + Friends event, a conversation series that seeks to inform and shift the narrative around timely and important issues that impact policy advocacy nationally as well as at the state and local levels. This year's topic, "Building Power in Policy Advocacy: Centering Lived Experiences," focused on how to engage those most directly impacted by policy and implementation in a way that has tangible, sustainable, and transformative impact.
Last week’s conversation explored why lived experience is paramount in advocacy, policy, government, and philanthropy. Our speakers also discussed the benefits and challenges of this approach, including the positive effect on policy design, analysis, and implementation, and the consideration of the human impact, instead of just data and numbers, to tell the whole story.
If you were unable to participate live, you can view a recording here.
The important work of CLASP, and events like this, would not be possible without the continued support of participants like you.
Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today to support CLASP’s efforts to center people, their experiences, equity, and a multi-racial democracy.
