Agenda

Working groups

During the course of the meetings on July 18 and July 25 we will:

    1. Identify priorities for potential work/activity in the next year
    2. Reflect on connections with these activities and how they intersect with our larger ongoing efforts to confront and challenge racism and capitalism, and the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
    3. Identify allies & how we might work with them
    4. What connections do we want to make with others involved with PHM outside of the US?

In working groups we will develop:

    1. Concrete steps for 3 months
    2. Plans for what we want to achieve in 6 months and in 1 year

Each group will be asked to prepare a short presentation for closing session on July 25.
