Inside-Outside Magic: How to Weave Lived Experience into Policymaking
Anne Mosle | February 20, 2024 |
Equitable and effective government policies come from legislators who build trust and collaborate with communities. At the 2023 Aspen Forum on Children and Families, I moderated a powerful session during which we talked about family voice, trust, and transformation.

Learn how diverse states are harnessing this magic and how you can incorporate it into your own work.
