Join the conference call forum on March 3rd for an exchange on moving a proactive health equity agenda that benefits all of us. An affordable and accessible healthcare system is not enough. Our communities need green spaces, clean air, safe and healthy jobs, housing and schools. Federal and state policymakers rarely acknowledge the broader health disparities that communities of color face. Join the conference call March 3. RSVP here: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/601/t/3962/signUp.jsp?key=4013 Featured speakers include community organizers Fatima Morales of Washington Community Action Network and Leo Morales of Idaho Community Action Network. How do we begin to tackle health concerns in housing, workplace and community settings? How can health impact statements advance racial justice? How can these tools give us leverage in local, state and federal health policy debates? Join us and find out. Dial in to the bi-weekly series of conference calls hosted by the Applied Research Center. Justice advocates on the Compact Forum calls will track the first 100 days of the Obama administration and shape plans to influence policy affecting racial justice. In addition to engaging featured speakers, participants will be able to share progress on local, state and national efforts, and join a call to action on key issues. Interested individuals must RSVP by the Monday before the call.
