Stephen Benjamin on Using Local Solutions to Drive National Impact
Manage episode 399684703 series 1906539
We explore the potential of applying locally sourced solutions to address national problems. We examine how research organizations can harness evidence from grassroots initiatives, community-led projects, and local expertise to inform national policies and drive meaningful change. Join us in our conversation with Stephen Benjamin, who served as Mayor of Columbia South Carolina for 3 terms over 12 years and as the President of the African American Mayors Association. In 2023 he began serving as the Director of the Office of Public Engagement for the Biden administration. He tells us about policymakers, and community advocates push for the power of localized evidence in shaping effective, inclusive, and sustainable solutions that have a positive impact on people and communities nationwide
