Join us for a screening of the 20 minute documentary film "Planet Prescription: Healing Healer. Healing The Planet. Healing Us." which listens to stories from health professionals as they witness how air pollution and climate change are impacting human health, especially children’s health and the communities impacted most by racial injustice.
After the film you can get your questions answered by our live expert panel as they discuss "The Cumulative Effects of Air Pollution & The Role of Environmental Racism."
