MultiHub Forum

I'm a community organizer in a mid-sized, diversifying city, and our coalition is developing a concrete policy platform focused on advancing racial justice, specifically in policing, housing, and economic opportunity. While we have strong community testimonials, we need robust data and precedent to persuade city council members. For organizers or policy experts who have successfully advocated for similar municipal reforms, what research or case studies were most persuasive in demonstrating both the need and the potential effectiveness of specific interventions? How did you navigate opposition framed around cost or "divisiveness," and what strategies proved effective for building multi-racial, cross-class alliances around these issues without diluting the core demands for equity and systemic change?
