In its initial response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Partnership listened to frontline leaders of color and funded urgent needs around increasing organizing and advocacy capacity and narrative efforts in laying the groundwork for a  just and equitable recovery. These investments served as the springboard for one of our three catalytic strategies, amplifying community power to drive long-term structural change.

With support from Convergence Partnership, Narrative Arts provided storytelling and messaging support to the Covid response grantees on narrative disruption efforts and worked to ensure that community voices and stories were also amplified through Convergence Partnership national platform.
