PolicyBridge is a research and advocacy think and action tank that prompts and sustains high quality discourse about public policy issues affecting African-Americans and other underserved communities which enlightens fellow citizens and catalyzes action.
Urban Agenda - PolicyBridge with the assistance of State Representative Stephanie Howse planned and convened various community stakeholders including elected and appointed public officials from Northeast Ohio to aid in the design of a unified and comprehensive urban policy and programmatic agenda for the region. After meeting in-person in February, subsequent in-person meetings were canceled due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. PolicyBridge analyzed and organized the session feedback and is working to convene additional virtual meetings to obtain additional feedback based on analysis of the information gained during the February 2020 planning session. It is our intention to use the information gathered during the virtual session in 2021 to spearhead activities that would culminate in PolicyBridge authoring a report that outlines the policy and programmatic elements and potential implications of a unified and comprehensive urban agenda.
Health Improvement Partnership-Cuyahoga (HIP-Cuyahoga) PolicyBridge continued to provide leadership as Mr. Brown serves as co-chair of the steering committee and chair of the eliminating structural racism subcommittee focusing on perspective transformation for this comprehensive collective impact initiative. The overall focus of this initiative is to improve health and increase equity for all people in Cuyahoga County. During 2020, this group focused on developing its implementation strategies and creating an implementation plan in support of the data and findings related to the 2019 Cuyahoga County Community Health Needs Assessment. The implementation plan completed detailed the goals and activities HIP-Cuyahoga partners will collectively and individually focus their resources and energies towards addressing in Cuyahoga county.
Systems-Level Modeling Design - a local project team that has received funding from a national funding source to examine and design cross-sector systems-level models, their applications, and influences. The focus of the Cuyahoga County team is to understand how to design systems that significantly reduce or eliminate structural racism. Based on PolicyBridges inclusion in this cutting-edge systems-level thinking and action, we are using the knowledge gained from participating in this project to inform and educate other local systems-level leaders, followers, and participants. The goal is to become a local leader in the design and implementation of systems and structures that are significantly more diverse and inclusive leading more equitable outcomes for communities of color, especially the African American community.
