the Community Clinics Initiative, where O works, is amazing. i went to a little bit of their grantee meeting as part of take-your-tentacle-to-work-day. not only did i witness the illustrious O-dawg give a great introduction to their new grant cycle (on environmental/community health, partnerships, collaborations, whoo hoo!!) that had me and the rest of the room pealing laughter, but i also heard some inspiring speakers.
like america bracho. wow. and of course sandra, from TALC. and the woman from PICO. and whoever that other guy was, too!!
they all got me thinking about what it takes to build strong partnerships and to develop collaborations, which was awesome because that's a lot of my work right now. O's new initiative/RFP really showed what an unique and valuable role clinics can play in our movement toward healthy communities, and as someone who focuses mostly on food justice, i'm hoping this can be an opportunity to work with clinics!!
i hope we all get to keep participating in take your tentacle to work day.. more on WORLD's summit later, that brought the whole octopus to one tentacle's work!!
