The Community Power Network (formerly known as the Peer Learning Network) is an ongoing multicultural, multiracial forum on the potential for systems alignment initiatives to improve outcomes for Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities. We build community power to uplift lived experience, Indigenous and cultural wisdom, community values and assets, and culture; to conduct research that decolonizes and reimagines “rigor” to evaluate the feasibility and impact of systems alignment innovations; to leverage transdisciplinary expertise and other ways of knowing; and to move evidence into action.

Our monthly forums are designed to serve both organizations new to systems alignment research and others that are further along, with expert facilitation through a decolonized and racial equity framework, and active engagement during learning sessions.
