The new brief, Place Matters: Communicating the Relationship Between Place, Racism, and Early Childhood Development offers research-based messaging strategies for talking about the connections between place, racism, and early childhood development and provides a set of recommendations that communicators can use and adapt in their own work.

The companion toolkit, Place Matters: Communicating the Relationship Between Place, Racism, and Early Childhood Development provides message guidance and real-world examples to help advocates and communicators put these strategies to use in their own contexts—whether when writing op-eds, developing policy briefs, speaking with media, or creating community engagement materials.
