Register for the PHM-USA National Assembly!
After a series of meetings in which working groups planned actions for the coming months PHM-USA will hold a national assembly to share out these plans and come together as a movement to chart the way with longtime friends and folks interested to become a part of this movement for health for all.

We asked that everyone share their areas of interest around which we might structure PHM-USA’s work. After tallying up the responses, these are the areas of action that came back:
- Health systems reform & access to health services
- anti-racist organizing in health professions
- privatization of health services
- Environmental justice
- Climate change
- Extractive industries
- Work and the right to health
- Trade and health
- Reproductive justice
- Immigrant rights
- Housing
- Police violence
- Indigenous sovereignty
- LGBT rights
- The role of the US administration in weakening the internationalization of health related global decision making
Now, we are looking for folks to lead some of the working group sessions during the national meeting. If you would be able to help guide discussions and organize these groups’ action plans for the coming year, please let Julia know.
