Audience: Health Community

This convergence session is designed to create meaningful connections and share practical tools for leaders in public and planetary health. Join us as we bring together our virtual and regional C&H PLC cohorts into a growing national community of practice.

Recent acts of violence and injustice—here in Minneapolis–St. Paul and in communities across the country—are not only social and political crises; they are health crises. As we navigate ongoing harm and uncertainty, it is essential that we care for ourselves and one another.

Mutual Aid for Climate Justice 101: in this interactive workshop, learn how community can take care of each other’s needs equitably during a changing climate future.  Learn a definition of mutual aid, cover contemporary and historical examples of mutual aid for social change, brainstorm how mutual aid can be a response to the climate crisis, and begin to think about your own networks of support.

Current energy and water systems are failing us. Too often, corporate shareholder profits are prioritized over providing affordable, clean energy and water to our communities. While profits break records, millions have their power and water shutoff and accumulate debt turning these essential services back on. We’re launching the “Utilities for All” playbook to point the path towards a world where utility bills are affordable, with no risk of shutoff or mountains of debt accumulating in sight.

Have you experienced extreme heat, poor air quality, or flooding this summer?
As a nurse, I was trained to see health holistically. Nursing isn’t only about caring for individuals at the bedside; it also means caring for families, communities, and the systems that sustain life.

Join the Lab for a discussion on what our organizations and movement should be considering in this political moment in the US.

In this session, hear directly from health professionals leading climate action across the country. Through stories and reflections from the Climate + Health Peer Learning Circle, we’ll explore how health leaders are building power, reshaping narratives, and advancing climate solutions through a health equity lens.
