Power-building approaches for health and equity

Power is the ability to achieve a goal and drive meaningful change. Those in power can create and maintain laws, policies, worldviews and norms that shape community conditions and influence health. Communities can build collective power by organizing and taking action — setting agendas, shaping public discourse, influencing decision-makers and fostering relationships. In this webinar, we explored the different ways power is expressed — visible, hidden and invisible — and how we can harness it to advance health and equity. María Poblet, executive director of the Grassroots Power Project, introduced a power-building framework to help organizations develop campaigns for economic, racial, gender and environmental justice. Angela Acker from County Health Rankings & Roadmaps described how to use narrative power to shift worldviews and mindsets in support of health and equity. We also encourage you to read CHR&R’s 2025 report highlighting how power influences health, and to watch Building Power Through Narrative.
