BACR (Engaging Communities in Advocacy and Policy)
About This Partner/Organization
BACR’s Engaging Communities in Advocacy and Policy (ECAP) project will work in
multiple jurisdictions within San Joaquin and Solano Counties to increase adoption of
tobacco retailer licensing (TRL) and 100% smoke-free policies for multi-unit housing and
entertainment/sporting venues. Using a youth development model, Community
Engagement Coordinators in each county will recruit and train youth and young adults to
mobilize the community, deliver presentations and conduct one-on-one education with key
policy stakeholders. Each tobacco policy campaign will follow the San Francisco Health
Department’s Community Action Model (CAM), used successfully for over twenty years of
tobacco policy advocacy.
