MEETING

Our first multicultural virtual townhall meeting was held on Wednesday, June 28th, 2023, from 6-8:30 pm. It was the 101 initial conversation on the poisons that are consuming our communities. It was an opportunity to learn about Naloxone (NARCAN) as a lifesaving medication that can reverse an overdose from opioids, including Fentanyl, as well as the state of our children's mental health.

This first multicultural townhall meeting was well attended with more than 80 partners joining the zoom call. The multi-cultural event provided interpreters in Spanish, Hmong, Karen, and Somali for the inclusion of these underserved communities and Marnita’s Table provided technical support.

Facilitated by Mary Sue Hansen, Carmen Robles, Wendy Goodman and Lauren Williams, the presentation opened with a song of hope ‘HOLD ON TO ME’, followed by a blessing and Land Acknowledgement by Baswewe Gayle setting the stage for the difficult but necessary conversation.
