Health and Power Organizing Project (HPOP)

The Health and Power Organizing Project is a group of academics in public health, population health and related fields working to accelerate changes within and outside the bounds of academia so that all people have what they need to thrive. A long-term outcome of HPOP will be public health communities that more deeply engage — and share power — with communities facing inequity. Learn about how we are organizing and creating spaces for academics and applied researchers who share interests in contesting power imbalances and building power to advance health and equity.
