Praxis' mission is to support and partner with communities to achieve health justice by providing resources and capacity for policy development, advocacy and leadership. Praxis uses innovative participatory approaches that bridge theory, research and action. Our role as a discussant will help participants bridge human rights theory and practice to its implications for community-based organizations -- especially in low income communities and communities of color.

Learning Objectives:

• Participants will gain an understanding of the application of human rights framework to public health policy
• Participants will gain information on the application of key tenets of applied human rights work to community-based work
