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.
