Call to Action
Elimination of health disparities affecting racial and ethnic minority populations cannot happen without the united efforts of our public and private sectors. Further, we believe that ideas should flow from the grassroots to our government and private policy-makers. Throughout the National Partnership for Action, we will strive to ensure that all voices are heard, and that community voices help shape national and local policy on health disparities.
The National Partnership for Action is looking for individuals and organizations from all sectors to join the partnership by taking the online partner pledge!
Guidelines
The online partner pledge is open to individuals, community and faith-based organizations, professional societies, government agencies, national non-profit organizations, advocacy groups, foundations, corporations, businesses of all sizes, industry groups, and colleges and universities.
As members of the NPA, partners agree to:
- Support the goals of the NPA.
