New Brief from the American Lung Association - The United States Justice-Involved Population & Tobacco Use Resource Recent policy developments across the country highlight the need for more background on this important issue. While federal prisons prohibit smoking, some states and localities are reversing policies that prohibit smoking in their facilities, risking the health of people in prisons. However other states are working to improve access to healthcare, including tobacco cessation services for the justice-involved population. These states are pursing 1115 demonstration waivers to enrollee eligible individuals in their state Medicaid program a month prior to parole. This brief was developed to provide context on the public health problem that exists with respect to tobacco use in U.S. jails & prisons, in addition to discussing the health disparities that exist among this population. ]To read the entire New Brief from the American Lung Association, click HERE.<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.lung.org/getmedia/fd8e566e-31a3-43cf-a9dd-5a90790cb85c/tobacco-cessation-and-the-justice-involved-population.pdf__;!!OxGzbBZ6!OsFQGTUJSEhXsk_vLDVLVEVuMdPWIK_Qdg8Tf2733Auh4LiX23fDlbcl95O2ACQuZg9PC7SmyZA$> If you have any TA needs or questions related to this issue or other tobacco cessation issues, please feel free to reach out to the ALA team at cessationta at lung.org<mailto:cessationta at lung.org>.

New Resources: Lead Local Exploring Community-Driven Change and the Power of Collective Action As we continue to confront deep structural inequities tied to health, opportunity, race, and place in our nation-how does building community power offer a roadmap up and out? How does power catalyze, create, and sustain conditions for healthier communities? How is it built and how does it shift over time? How does it go beyond community engagement and how can it be measured? Lead Local, a collaborative effort funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, brought together well-respected local power-building leaders and practitioners in the fields of community organizing, advocacy, public health, and science to answer these and other questions. What you will learn:

  1.  How power operates in place-nested in the historical, economic, political, and cultural context of communities.
  2.  How community power-building transforms people's ability to see and wield their own power in shaping the systems and community conditions around them.
  3.  The multiple dimensions of community power-from setting the public agenda, winning that agenda, and ultimately governing to realize that agenda.
  4.  The strategies, infrastructure, and capacities required for building community power as a long-term strategy-as well as measuring and tracking its impacts.
