Health Action Conference's them art includes people of color connected by a wave of red and blue that symbolizes the community. An African American woman in the World War II Rosie the Riveter pose is an updated symbol of an empowered and capable woman. A Latino child who has been vaccinated. A community leader in a wheelchair shaking hands with a policymaker in a suit. An Asian man bringing groceries to those in need in his community. Two advocates, an older woman and younger woman with Down Syndrome standing back-to-back, and a grandmother and her grandson sitting on a park bench enjoying each other's company. Together these individual images express Health Action Conference 2023's theme: The Power of Community.

Learn more about Angelina Spicer:

Spicer became an outspoken advocate for maternal mental health after her diagnosis and hospitalization for postpartum depression (PPD). She is using her comedic voice across the country to remove the stigma from the shame and guilt associated with PPD. She is also working with lawmakers in California and on Capitol Hill to implement laws to support early motherhood. She partners with a variety of health providers and health advocacy organizations to support maternal and child health, including by serving as a Families USA health equity fellow and on the Board of Directors for March for Moms. She is also working on a documentary, Postpartum Revolution, which seeks to educate women about the emotional and physical changes that motherhood brings.

We are looking forward to having her join our 2023 Families USA’s Health Action Conference, which will set the tone for our work in the year ahead and bring together leaders from across the country. This event isn't one to miss!
