What Now: Health Equity: A Teen-Led Townhall

Join the conversation about how teens can turn their passion around health equity into real change in Rhode Island. Led by Classical High Schooler, Deb Adekunle, the panel includes Young Voice program manager Andrea Gonzalez & RI State Representative David Morales to talk about how to get involved in state action around Medicare for All, health & medical services access and reproductive health equity.

What Now: Health Equity is the first in a series of three youth-led town hall style panels about turning passion into civic action in Rhode Island. Each panel will be held virtually and will encourage interaction from audience members – bring your questions!
