Public Policy Working Group
What We Do
We are an advisory working group of the Coalition whose goal is to identify a new set of priorities for Massachusetts state-level public policy action and attention. We’re prioritizing public policy interventions based on equity, alignment, impact, and feasibility.
Prioritization Process
Draft Prioritization Rubric
Measure (measures listed roughly in order of rank) | Considerations |
---|---|
Equity: does this center the needs and experiences of the communities/people most likely to have poor experiences/unmet needs/preventable suffering? | |
Value of Coalition Engagement: either because no one else is addressing this issue OR because it adds meaningful amplification/synergy in alignment with other organizations; member interest/alignment with member mission/priorities | |
Impact: does it increase the alignment of care and supports with what matters most?
