Organizations Filed Purposes: Through research, advocacy, organizing and capacity building, HIP transforms the field of public health to center equity and build collective power with social justice movements.

Awareness building: Through various communications strategies, HIP works to raise awareness of: relationships between social, economic, and environmental conditions and health; the ways in which public health can collaborate with social-justice movements to improve health and equity; how to advance health equity within government; and the successes and impacts of using public health research and advocacy in community-organizing campaigns. In 2019, these strategies included presenting and/or attending 28 conferences, organizing and facilitating a one-day workshop for local health departments in California, hosting an organizing training for 33 people, hosting or presenting at 8 webinars, publishing 9 blog posts, sending out 52 email campaigns, and 17 instances of media coverage.

Field-building, Advocacy & Organizing: HIP builds a base of public health professionals to take action on social determinants of health and equity as part of broader social justice movements. In 2019, we continued to build our Public Health Awakened initiative now consisting of over 2,000 public health professionals to accomplish this goal. Through this, we mobilized the public health community on 6 federal policy changes, launched chapters in Michigan, Los Angeles, and Washington DC, and convened members 10 times. HIP also works to hold the field of Health Impact Assessment accountable to its values by fiscally sponsoring the Society of Practitioners of Health Impact Assessment. We also amplify public health research, expertise, framing, and communications to support policy campaigns related to the criminal legal system, economic security, housing, immigration, and other issues. In 2019, we did that for 15 state and federal campaigns by speaking at press conferences and public hearings; organizing health professionals to make public statements in the context of legislative and administrative debates; helping to collect public comments about federal rule changes; and producing fact sheets and infographics to bring a health lens to policy making.

Capacity building: HIP provides training, technical assistance, and leadership development to support public health organizations and practitioners to take action on the social determinants of health and equity. In 2019, HIP provided training and/or technical assistance to 9 state or local health departments and/or public health organizations to advance health equity (500+ people), and to 4 organizations to conduct Health Impact Assessment. We provided leadership development to 18 emerging leaders within governmental public health to advance health equity through a year-long leadership development program. We integrated new content into our resources for public health practitioners to improve their systems, policies, and practices to advance health equity goals, and we successfully implemented a pilot program to build the capacity of local health departments and community organizing groups (across 5 geographies in California) to form deep partnerships in support of social justice campaigns.
