How to Use HealthyCity.org to Influence PolicyHealthy City
These slides are from a webinar designed to demonstrate how to use HealthyCity.org to inform and communicate your advocacy and policy goals. Integrating the data and tools available on HealthyCity.org into your organizational advocacy and policy strategies can broaden efforts to influence decision-making at the local, state, and federal level.
In this training you will learn how to:
- Research relevant resources and data throughout California such as demographic, health, education, and housing to inform your organizational policy proposals.
- Create maps and charts that can visually communicate your advocacy message to impact policy decisions.
- Gather data to enhance on-the-ground knowledge of the community’s perspective and needs in relation to specific policy proposals and decisions.
- Connect communities, advocates, and decision-makers to information and data to stimulate action for policy change.
Healthy City works with community-based organizations to apply Community Based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) in their mapping and community-engagement work. CBPAR starts with issues and strategies to produce analysis, uses mapping technology as one tool for community engagement and focuses on communities within a geographic location, such as a neighborhood. Using CPBAR in mapping facilitates engagement, education, strategizing, and dialogue among community members--including youth--and decision-makers.
Including young people in map making allows them to contribute their unique knowledge and lived experiences as community residents. Youth can provide invaluable insight and can act as change agents advocating on behalf of their communities. Whether you are a Youth Organizer, Community Liaison or Direct Service Provider, there are a number of ways you can incorporate and share youth data and stories using a variety of free resources and tools available on HealthyCity.org to build community power.
In this webinar you will learn how to:
1) Research and map youth population data to enhance program focus and planning on healthycity.org
2) Upload your own data onto a map
3) Use Wikimaps to better plan, collaborate and share youth outreach strategies and stories
This webinar will be examining diabetes hospitalization rates among US and Foreign-Born Hispanics/Latin@s in California. Using the Social Determinants of Health framework, we will be exploring potential contributing factors to these hospitalization rates. Lastly, we will demonstrate (live) how to access and map related health data of other communities of interest on HealthyCity.org.

Kings of Convenience - What Walmart Tells Us About the Future ofBen Cousins
Can we expect as cataclysmic a power-shift in our industry as the US retail business experienced in the last century? This presentation uses the historical analogy of the rise of the supermarket in the post-automobile world to inform us about a possible future of the games industry. How did the technological revolution of the motor car create an increase in convenience and a reduction of the quality of the shopping experience for the average American, and how did that shift change the retail landscape in the US? How can we apply this and similar technology-driven business revolutions to our own rapidly changing industry as we react to the technological revolution of the internet?

1. Design Technology Process Journal - Mar. 28th, 2011
- Cutting the wood.
Today’s lesson was easy for me and everything ran great! I have done the
measuring and marking out part, so I cut it follow the lines that are drawn.
Today I used many familiar tools, like the tenon saw and the pull saw and a G-
clamp. I didn’t use any new tools. But the teacher introduced a new tool to us today, which
is the coping saw. This saw can help us cut the parts that are inside the wood board,
which the tenon saw and the pull saw can not cut. I think the coping saw is designed great,
because it was really helpful. I think I will use it later. And the G clamp is for keep the wood
tight on the table.
I found my project first when I went in to the work shop. I used pencils to remark my
lines because it was faded a bit. And then, I found a tenon saw to continue to cut it.
Everything ran great in this section except for 2 little problem that happened. When I was
cutting the second cut that I need to cut, it was perfect at the start. But at the end, the
useless piece of wood was about to fall off, but it still sticked on it. So I used the tenon saw
to cut it hardly, and it fall down. I thought it was perfect, but when I look at the edge, a little
triangular shaped edge fell off with the useless piece of wood. I was worried, so I found the
teacher to have a look. But the teacher said it’s ok, he will teach me how to solve it later.
Therefore I left it there and start to cut the last cut that I need to cut, this time was easy.
The other problem was I accidentally cut my finger with the pull saw, but it was ok because
the cut wasn’t too big. I need to be careful in the future because this is the second time I
cut my finger.
I think today’s lesson related to the AOI inquirers, because I asked some questions
to my friend and to the teacher. And the answers are helpful. This encouraged me to ask
more in the future.
