Although community organizing often is a key component of Community-based Participatory Research and other partnership approaches to neighborhood and policy change, community-driven organizing is less frequently a major focus of discussion and scholarship in CBPR. This session focuses on the importance of such organizing for transformative change on the neighborhood, municipal, state and policy levels. Each presentation will address APHA’s meeting theme of building social connectedness, as well as two or more key areas of concern to the CBPH Caucus. These are: CBPR and place-based community transformation; community-driven work to transform policy, lessons learned from community organizing and CBPR projects, participatory approaches to addressing the Social and Structural Determinants of Health, and organizing and partnership in the time of pandemics. A diverse range of partners share their experiences as organizers and public health partners, and the contributions of their CBPR and other collaborative work to building social connectedness in and beyond their partnerships, while also helping to promote transformative, equity-focused policy change. In addition to a presentation sharing and applying a new conceptual model of community engaged evidence translation to policy making, three case studies are presented.
