Update: Earth Day Environmental Justice Tour

Thank you to the physicians, medical students, and healthcare providers who attended the Earth Day Environmental Justice Tour! The tour, led by Community Members for Environmental Justice, brought medical students and other health professionals to several sites of industrial pollution in North Minneapolis. Community members shared their lived experiences with environmental injustice and other interrelated structural determinants of health, as well as their work to create healthier neighborhoods as community organizers and advocates. 

Learn more about Community Members for Environmental Justice and consider hosting a tour for your group by going to their website.

To get involved in future environmental advocacy work, consider joining Health Professionals for a Healthy Climate, Health Students for a Healthy Climate , or Medical Students for a Sustainable Future. Thank you to 2022-23 Public Health Advocacy Fellowship cohort members Sarah Rasmussen (MS2),  Lauren Vasilakos (MS2), and Laalitha Surapaneni, MD for your work coordinating this event!
