Join Us for Trivia Night!

For over 20 years, the International Day for Biological Diversity has served as a reminder that biodiversity is an integral component in building a strong foundation for climate solutions, public health, sustainable livelihoods, and food and water security.

To celebrate this year’s Day for Biological Diversity, we are thrilled to be partnering with the Center for Biological Diversity for a VIRTUAL Trivia Night! Questions will focus on endangered species, family planning, and green actions. Members of the winning team will take home a copy of Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot. We hope you'll be able to join us on Thursday, May 27th at 7:00pm ET/4:00pm PT!

National Women's Health Week

Earlier this month, we celebrated National Women's Health Week by sitting down for a conversation with Sonya Young Aadam, the CEO of the California Black Women's Health Project. Population Connection Communications Manager Hannah Evans and Sonya discussed structural barriers Black women in particular face in regards to health equity, and the ways in which systems of oppression and racism have contributed to disparities in health outcomes for Black women in California and throughout the United States.

We hope you'll take the time to view the recording and hear Sonya's valuable insights.
