Working groups
During the course of the meetings on July 18 and July 25 we will:
- Identify priorities for potential work/activity in the next year
- 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.
- Identify allies & how we might work with them
- What connections do we want to make with others involved with PHM outside of the US?
In working groups we will develop:
- Concrete steps for 3 months
- 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.
