The Health Action Conference is the premiere event of the year to kick off our work connecting to build a healthier future together, and you can join both virtually and in person! January 2023 is a critical time for advocates to mobilize. With the midterm elections just behind us and grassroots movements rising around the country, this will be an important time to collaborate on our shared fight to eliminate health inequities and ensure everyone can live their healthiest life.
