TBA in Vancouver, WAHealth Professionals for Climate Justice Training in Vancouver, WA
Hello Everyone,
Out of public health concerns surrounding COVID 19, a novel strain of coronavirus, we have decided to postpone our planned Health Professionals Training that was to take place Sunday, March 22nd in Vancouver, WA.
Our hope is to be able to reschedule this training, still to take place in Vancouver, in May 2020. We will keep everyone updated when we are more confident regarding a date for this training.
Thank you for your understanding. Please reach out to Lluvia Merello with any questions.

Though this event has been postponed, we can still learn with and support the Vancouver community from where we are.
Dozens of community members came out to the Vancouver City Council meeting on March 9th, and you can watch the recording of the meeting to better understand the community’s request that the Vancouver City Council support a Climate Action Plan. The next City Council meeting will take place on March 23rd at 6:30 PM, and you can watch the meeting live from home.
You can also email members of the Vancouver City Council and the Mayor of Vancouver to support this effort:
