Organization description:
The Praxis Project is a national organization that works in partnership with national, tribal, regional, state and local partners to achieve health justice for all communities. Our mission is to build healthy communities by transforming power relationsips and structures. Praxis supports policy advocacy and local organizing as part of a comprehensive strategy for change. We emphasize developing fields of work in ways that encourage multilevel, transdisciplinary learning and collaboration across issues, across the country and across the globe. National, multisite initiatives are a core part of our work as they operate as “laboratories” where we learn and share lessons for application in related fields to help us collectively move the work of health justice further, faster.
