Free Webinar: Weds., June 24th 08:30 - 09:15 AM

 As we just begin to "come out" of our COVID crisis there are two additional crises that loom 1) the economy and 2) climate change.

 The following up-coming free webinar will have two incredible experts to talk about both of these.  Tom Steyer was just appointed by Governor Brown to help design the economic recovery in CA and has created a substantial statewide Task Force to do this.  Tom Steyer has also been a presidential candidate and climate change activist.  Linda Rudolph, a public health physician, who has had senior positions in both county and state health depts. has also been a climate change activist.

 Both of these wonderful and smart speakers will be talking about how we can move forward to address our economy and climate change.

 Tom Steyer and Dr. Linda Rudolph in Conversation:

Climate, Health, Equity and the Governor's Task Force on Business and Jobs Recovery

Register HERE

Tom Steyer left his successful investing business seven years ago to give his own money and all his time and energy to fighting for progressive causes. He soon became one of the country’s leading forces in registering more young voters and voters of color, fighting climate change, working for racial justice, and helping secure better lives for all Americans. Tom has led a number of people-first, grassroots campaigns that have repeatedly defeated powerful special interests, beating big oil to win clean air laws, forcing big tobacco to pay its share of healthcare costs, and closing a billion-dollar corporate tax loophole to fund public schools. Most recently, Tom was a former Democratic presidential candidate and now serves as co-chair for Governor Newsom's Business and Jobs Recovery Task Force.

 Dr. Linda Rudolph is currently a Senior Advisor on Climate, Health and Equity for the Public Health Institute and with the Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health. She previously served as Director of the Center for Climate Change and health, Deputy Director at the California Department of Public Health for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Health Officer and Public Health Director for the City of Berkeley, and Chief Medical Officer for Medi-Cal Managed Care. Linda was the founding co-chair of California's Health in All Policies Task Force. She is a nationally recognized thought leader on climate, health, and equity, Health in All Policies, and chronic disease prevention.
