Our Journey:

Strategic Action: Building and Sharing Power

The Build-Share Power pillar group focused on two core pillar goals: building and sharing power. We built power by developing an innovative framework that strengthened stakeholder engagement in advocacy efforts through enhanced organizing, communication, and collaboration. For sharing power, we identified and prioritized key equity, advocacy, and policy actions that united members' initiatives.

Mission & Vision

Uniting Voices, Building Change

Strategies:
Our approach implemented these goals through specific strategies. To build power, we actively supported Missouri Advocate Network members' campaigns to amplify community voices and ensure advocacy remained people-centered. For sharing power, we enabled collaborative action by equipping members with tools and resources to organize and act together on shared advocacy and policy priorities.

Current Projects and Progress

Build-Share pillar has recently Identified the need for a better way to connect advocates working on similar issues and developed a low-cost proof of concept using in-house tools. The pillar introduced the tool to non-cohort members through 1:1 testing and tabling at the Advocates’ Retreat. The pillar found strong interest but discovered a further developed effort by the Missouri Rural Health Association (MRHA). The Missouri Advocate Network is working to partner with MRHA to expand their tool to all MO health advocates.
