A promotional poster titled "Four Case Stories of Inside-Outside Strategy for Health Equity." The subtitle reads: "A series highlighting powerful wins in New Orleans, LA; Providence, RI; St. Louis, MO; and Kane County, IL that show what’s possible when public health and community power-building organizations join forces." Four images are arranged in a grid: top left shows youth protestors wearing "PVD" shirts; top right features a large group holding signs that say “New Orleans Needs GOOD JOBS – Vote YES for the Workers’ Bill of Rights”; bottom left is a portrait of a smiling young Black woman outdoors; bottom right shows a woman presenting in front of a small group, next to a flip chart. At the bottom is the URL “healthinpartnership.org” and the logo for Health in Partnership.
