Ella Baker once said, “Give people light, they will find the way.” People don’t need policy experts or elected officials telling them what should happen. People know what they need and what needs to change. Instead, people need to be heard, people need space, resources, and support to craft the solutions necessary for change. Policymaking should be about creating processes and pathways to shed light on the sacred value of community wisdom and experience. This is the belief that undergirds the participatory policymaking toolkit that will be shared in this online, interactive workshop.
