This document outlines a strategy to provide low-income minority communities in LA with simplified yet accurate healthcare information through a multilingual website. The goals are to address healthcare disparities due to language barriers and limited resources, and provide equal access to information for all. The proposed website model would incorporate encyclopedias, forums, and government sources. It aims to change how people access local healthcare system information and empower communities to take control of their health. Key objectives for the first year include establishing a brand, maintaining user base, and creating multilingual and map-based features.

Editor's Notes
Make this slide your own - it’s the first slide the audience will see. Feel welcome to change the colors and design of this and every slide to express your unique perspective. Specific notes: Title: choose something short - less than 7 words.
Subtitle is optional, but you can use this to elaborate on your strategy.
Pick an image related to your theme - try not to use clip art, you want the audience to immediately take you seriously.
Take the audience BRIEFLY through your process - each person should take 10 seconds or less, for a total less than 1 min. Make sure you show a smooth flow from the identification of needs to model design to ultimate impact.
You have about 30 seconds for this slide, so keep it nice and concise - less than 20 words total! The content is up to your creative powers, but the idea is for you to pull from the first half of what you wrote in the Strategy Proposal: What is the issue you have chosen? Why is your group passionate about this issue? Which specific aspects of race, class, and gender inequality does it target? Which specific groups of people are impacted, and in what ways?

This is a great place to cite a course reading and use observations from surveys to support your points.

The content is up to your creative powers, but this is a great place to mention a course reading, and the main idea is for you to pull from the first half of what you wrote in the Strategy Proposal: What strategies do you propose to address this issue, and why did you choose them? Limit this to 1-2 strategies - this should be a deep exploration rather than a list. How specifically does each strategy work, and how do they work together?

The content is up to your creative powers, but the idea is for you to pull from the first half of what you wrote in the Strategy Proposal: How do they use an understanding of how race, class, and gender inequality work to increase their impact? Draw specifically from the readings here.What are other strategies that haven't worked in the past, and why are yours more efficient and impactful? What resources will you need? Who will you need to engage to make it work - both allies and opponents - and how will you do it?

What vision is your strategy building toward - i.e., if all goes well, how will race, class, and gender look different 50-100 years from now? What are short term benchmarks that you would need to accomplish in the next year to put this in place?
You have about 30 seconds for this slide, so keep it nice and concise - less than 20 words total! The content is up to your creative powers, but the idea is for you to pull from the first half of what you wrote in the Strategy Proposal: What are measurable changes in the medium-term (1-5 years) that will tell you if it's working or not? Draw from the readings here: what from the course makes you think these specific changes are important? Name 2-3 challenges you think will stand in the way of your vision: how will you learn from these challenges and use them to make your model better?
