We hope you enjoyed the Open Forum Lightning Talk, Building Community Power: A Public Health Imperative. 

Here is a list of all the resources mentioned during the talk - happy learning! 

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at vinu@pophealthllc.com with any thoughts, reactions, or questions about the talk or these resources. I’d love to hear from you! 

• PoP Health’s community coalition capacity building resources, including the free Community Threads newsletter and free action planning training, both specifically designed for coalitions

• GASLIT by Corporations/IGNITED by Community 

• Vinu’s TEDx talk: Square Peg, Round Hole: Fixing Our Approach to Health

And although not mentioned in the talk, here are a few of my favorite storytelling and community organizing resources: 

• Frameworks Institute’s How to Talk about Rigged Systems: A Quick-Start Guide

• Potential Energy Coalition’s Talk Like a Human guide (I think their lessons on how to communicate climate change apply much, much more broadly!)

• Organizing - People/Power/Change guide - adapted from the work of Dr. Marshall Ganz of Harvard University
