From Community Catalyst:
"Advancing Health Reform by Inclusion: Engaging Communities of Color in Creating Policy Change
Tuesday, June 19, 2012 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Eastern Time Register at http://bit.ly/KMvqDm by Friday, June 15, 2012
The best change occurs when the communities most affected are involved.
Moving toward health equity requires full participation by communities of color in the policy making process and implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Community Catalyst conducted an assessment to identify emerging and effective ways state consumer health advocates and community-based organizations are engaging communities of color in creating policy change to advance the ACA.
On this call speakers will:
* Share the findings from the research, including best practices used by
state and local advocates in five states Alabama, Michigan, Minnesota,
New York and Oregon
* Hear from advocates in New York and Minnesota about the work in their
work to advance health equity
* Offer recommendations for state and national organizations and
funders"

Report: Public Sector Engmt of Transsexual & Transgender People in Support of Equality Duties
Great new report from the Equality Network: the Scottish Transgender Alliance on public bodies/public sector agency duties to serve transsexual and transgendered people. The report discusses several findings that relate to serving people from the trans community.
According to the report, the project specifically "aimed to develop a better understanding of:
• public bodies’ awareness of their duties towards transsexual people
• public bodies’ current performance in meeting their existing duties towards transsexual people, and
• the extent to which they were considering the needs and experiences of the full range of transgender people when meeting their duties, in line with best practice" (p. 10).
