Today is Indigenous Peoples’ Day! 🌿 We honor Indigenous peoples, cultures, leadership, and the knowledge carried across generations.

At CSHE, we believe healthier and more equitable systems are shaped by community wisdom, lived experience, cultural knowledge, and the leadership of the people most impacted by them. Indigenous Peoples’ Day reinforces why Indigenous ways of knowing and being, along with Indigenous leadership, must be valued, centered, and reflected in the systems and decisions that shape community health and well-being.

We honor and celebrate the strength and enduring presence of Indigenous communities today and every day. We are grateful for the knowledge, relationships, and perspectives that continue to guide our work as we move forward together, building relationships rooted in respect, shared leadership, and community voice.

What does it take to activate systems transformation and advance wellness and justice for all people?

Community Solutions for Health Equity (CSHE) is a national collaborative partnership working alongside multicultural community-based organizations across the United States to address the systemic barriers that perpetuate health inequities.

We believe lived experience, cultural wisdom, and community-defined wellness are central to systems transformation. Our work amplifies local community power, strengthens leadership capacity, and equips partners with the tools and resources to advance wellness and justice for all people.

CSHE honors Hispanic and Latine Heritage Month! 🤎

We honor the histories, cultures, contributions, resilience, joy, and leadership of Hispanic and Latine communities. While this month offers an opportunity for recognition and celebration, honoring doesn’t begin or end with one month.

We also recognize that this month may feel different for everyone. For some, it may be a time of celebration and joy, while for others, it may bring reflection, uncertainty, and concern for safety and well-being. And for many, these and other feelings may exist alongside one another.

We invite you to reflect with us:
💬 What does honoring and standing with Hispanic and Latine communities look like to you right now?

Across the CSHE network, we are grateful for our partners, community leaders, and collaborators who share their stories and knowledge, protect and care for their communities, and lead efforts to transform the systems and conditions affecting their communities.

For CSHE, honoring Hispanic and Latine communities includes listening to and learning from their voices and knowledge, recognizing their power, supporting their leadership, and standing alongside communities as they shape healthier, more equitable systems.

Marlana Kendricks’ testimony is a powerful reminder that policies shape whether families can access the care and support they need to thrive.

At CSHE, we’re asking: What would it look like for systems to truly recognize and support family caregivers as essential partners in care?

🎉 Celebrating the continued impact of one of our alumni partners!

Congratulations to Cancer Patients Alliance (CPA) on being featured by The Intersection, a platform convened by RWJFoundation, for their work to advance equitable cancer care in California's Salinas Valley.

Working alongside Latino farmworkers and community members, CPA helped address barriers to cancer care and shape community-informed solutions. Their story demonstrates what can happen when community knowledge, leadership, and storytelling are centered in efforts to transform healthcare systems.

We're proud to continue amplifying the leadership, stories, and lasting impact of our alumni partners as they continue to create meaningful change in their communities.

As Labor Day approaches, CSHE Executive Director Karla Walker invites us to reflect on what it takes to care for the people doing the work of change.

In her latest Karla’s Corner reflection, Karla writes, “Systems change and movements cannot be sustained by exhausted people alone.”

Her message speaks directly to values we hold at CSHE, including making space for life, rejecting a false sense of urgency, and trusting the process. It also reminds us that access to rest, working conditions, economic security, and power over resources all shape health and well-being.

We invite you to make space for rest, care, and renewal, and to remember that sustaining the work also means making space for the people who carry it.

Read Karla’s Labor Day reflection and carry that reminder with you:

CSHE Executive Director Karla Walker is calling on philanthropy to invest in the organizations already advancing health equity and leading solutions in their communities.

In her op-ed for The Nonprofit Quarterly, “To Build a Healthier Future for All, Funders Must Stand with Black-Led Organizations,” Karla highlights the need for long-term investment in Black-led organizations and in the leadership and relationships that drive systems transformation.

As Karla writes, “What we need now is sustained investment in health equity infrastructure, not performative solidarity.”

At CSHE, we continue to amplify Black leadership and center lived experience, cultural wisdom, and community knowledge to strengthen community power, advance systems transformation, and support health equity and well-being for all.

Long-term philanthropic investment is essential to sustaining community-led solutions and the leadership and relationships needed for lasting systems change.

Read Karla’s full op-ed in Nonprofit Quarterly and consider what sustained investment in Black-led organizations can make possible:

Transformative change doesn't happen in isolation. It grows through relationships, shared leadership, and opportunities to learn with and from one another.

These moments reflect how CSHE brings Native, Latine, and Black leaders together through the Native Engagement Collaborative (NEC), creating intentional space for bi-directional learning across cultures, histories, lived experiences, and community-rooted approaches to care.

In Oʻahu, leaders moved through the Cultural Knowledge Exchange as both students and teachers. They shared community-rooted knowledge, deepened relationships built through the Collaborative, and gained new perspectives that continue to shape the work they lead within their communities. Together, these experiences strengthen collective efforts to advance health justice, maternal child health, and systems transformation.

As we recognize National Breastfeeding Month, we're reflecting on a meaningful conversation from the CSHE Native Engagement Collaborative (NEC) Cultural Knowledge Exchange in Oʻahu.

NEC members learned from our partner, Breastfeeding Hawaii, about their work to protect, promote, and advocate for breastfeeding families across Hawaiʻi while discussing the barriers many families face within Hawaiʻi's healthcare system. A meaningful takeaway from the conversation was the reminder that postpartum is not simply a period after birth, but a lifelong journey deserving of continued care, connection, and support.

Conversations like these reflect the work of the NEC, where CSHE brings leaders together through cultural knowledge exchange, bi-directional learning, and multicultural solidarity to advance health justice and strengthen culturally grounded approaches to maternal child health.
