Community Catalyst

Building the power of people to create a health system rooted in race equity and health justice, and a society where health is a right for all.

In 1998, we were founded on the belief that people, not health care companies, should be at the center of decisions about our health system.

Since then, we’ve joined forces with partner organizations across the country to make big improvements for people’s health. We’ve made the Affordable Care Act (ACA) a reality, expanded Medicaid coverage to millions, improved the Medicare program, and secured victories at the local and state level to make care more affordable and accessible for everyone. Together, we’ve built a stronger advocacy infrastructure — incubating organizations in 9 states, and building a robust network of partners working together across more than 45 states (and growing).

All of that progress is our foundation for even bigger change — change that will bring us closer to health justice.
