Coming to you live from Facing Race: A National Convening, the next National Health Equity Grand Rounds on November 21 at 2:00 PM CT will be hosted in-person and streamed to a virtual audience at the largest multiracial, intergenerational racial justice conference in the United States. Bringing together thought leaders from diverse backgrounds, "Rewrite the Script: Narrative Transformation for Equity in Health," the National Health Equity Grand Rounds event will explore how changing dominant, harmful narratives can advance health equity. Narrative, or the collective stories that shape our values as society, plays a powerful role in how we think about health care. By understanding narrative power, we can confront health inequities and create a more equitable health care ecosystem.

This year’s presidential election takes place against a backdrop of escalating attacks on racial equity and the communities it serves. Banned books, attacks on critical race theory, the overturning of Roe vs. Wade, the dismantling of Affirmative Action, attacks on gender-affirming care and on trans and non-binary folks—all of these interconnected attacks have caused deep harm to communities most impacted by systems of oppression and racism. Our next #RaceAnd conversation will explore the path forward for racial justice. This will be a space for you to: ? Analyze the election results and their implications for racial justice work and the broader movement. ? Identify threats and opportunities for the racial justice movement in light of the election outcomes and the larger response by influential groups. ? Discuss next steps for organizations and leaders working to advance racial justice post-election. Be sure to join us, Wednesday, November 13, 3 pm ET | 2 pm CT | 12 pm PT. https://lnkd.in/e5zfDupr
