Oakland Community Outreach
Urban Strategies Council
Organized community forums bridging residents with city leadership, supporting equitable policy development through multilingual outreach and resource distribution.
Oakland residents lacked direct channels to engage with city leadership on policy decisions affecting their communities, and existing outreach efforts did not reach non-English-speaking populations.
As a Deeply Rooted Fellow with the Urban Strategies Council, Taylor organized community forums that brought together 12 Oakland-based organizations and elected officials to facilitate resident-leadership dialogue. The role included managing survey collection at community events, creating trilingual educational materials, and distributing health resources across neighborhoods.
- Engaged 12 organizations and elected officials in resident-leadership forums
