Title: Real Clout: a How-To Manual for Community-Based Activists Trying to Expand Healthcare Access By Changing Public Policy
Copyright Date: Second edition 2005
Pages: 222
Authors: Judith Meredith, The Public Policy Institute; Catherine Dunham, The Access Project
Description: Real Clout is a manual for community based activists who are trying to improve health care access by influencing public policy. Responsibility for many aspects of health policy has lately shifted from the federal government to states. This presents an opportunity for community activists to encourage state policy makers to support and promote policies that expand access. Real Clout is a "how to" guide for activists who want to seize that opportunity but lack the relevant experience.
A Workbook has been developed as a companion to Real Clout: A How-To Manual for Community Activists Trying to Expand Healthcare Access by Changing Public Policy. It is available for download at www.realclout.org.
