Collective impact is a network of community members, organizations, and institutions that advance equity by learning together, aligning, and integrating their actions to achieve population and system-level change. What are the four phases of collective impact? 1) A clear, common purpose; 2) Community engagement and co-production; 3) Relationships and trust; and 4) Results and accountability.

Justice Informed's Head of Impact, Anna Radoff, is moving to Colorado! The Justice Informed team is beyond excited for her new journey, and glad to report that Anna will continue to serve as Justice Informed's Head of Impact from her new home. Before she moves, here are some reflections from Anna on what it means to do community work across different cities: "Moving brings with it a barrage of feelings and questions: grief at leaving this city I’ve called home for a decade, excitement to explore a new adventure (and mountains!), and uncertainty at the reality of engaging in social justice work remotely—so much of which relies on the principles of being in community with people. Growing up in the Bay Area, I was raised on the Saul Alinsky model of community organizing. Over dinner, we discussed why Dolores Huerta was successful. We went to hear Angela Davis speak in Oakland. We knocked on doors and talked to our neighbors about having a stop sign put in. When I moved from the Bay Area to Chicago, I saw how other transplants struggled to navigate the city’s tribalism and unbridled pride. Frameworks of impactful change work require first learning and listening. Much of my time was spent reflecting and meeting people at community meetings in church basements from Austin to Roseland to Uptown. It is those relationships that rooted me in Chicago. It is that power of community that leads to action. The thought of moving to Denver is daunting: to learn another landscape, to take time to let my roots grow deep. There are tools and technologies to engage virtually, but is it the same? Can you still say you are from somewhere if you are no longer there? How do you stay rooted while uprooting to be somewhere else? While I may not be able to answer all of these questions right now, I am hopeful that an opportunity to engage in another city's practices of community care and organizing will teach me something new about both Denver and Chicago."
