With a focused commitment to erasing racial and ethnic health disparities, the California Legislative Black Caucus Foundation has developed the Advocacy in Action: Health Disparities program. Annually, the program will support executive directors and those serving on the board of directors from a minimum of 20 health or health related agencies and other community- based non-profit organizations that serve people of color within Los Angeles County. After completing Advocacy in Action training, these agency leaders will have the skills, visibility and exposure to public officials to advocate public policy changes while expanding the advocacy capacity of their organizations. The program includes a four-week advocacy-training course and directly connects participants to state and local elected officials as they work to implement policies that overcome racial and ethnic and access health disparities.
