Summary

Welcome to Communicating Now, a toolkit to help you communicate effectively about community-led, collaborative approaches to eliminate health disparities.

The framing strategies in this toolkit are designed to help community-based organizations and public health entities build understanding and support for policies and programs that address health barriers in communities facing discrimination, economic exclusion, and other forms of injustice.

The toolkit is organized according to dilemmas and scenarios that health equity communicators across the nation face. That’s why the table of contents is arranged by “When you need to…” scenarios. We hope the scenarios help you find timely guidance as you continue your vital work.
