Raising Our Voices for Health Justice: California Communities Against Commercial Tobacco
The Information and Education Virtual Day of Action 2021 is a series of events and activities designed to educate the legislature about the continuing and significant health impact of tobacco in communities across California, especially on those diverse and marginalized communities that the tobacco targets through aggressive advertising and marketing.
Tobacco control advocates from throughout the state will meet with their legislators and special legislative caucus representatives and ask that they make it a state priority in 2021 to ensure that every Californian has equitable opportunities to achieve and maintain health and wellness, especially as it relates to tobacco’s impact on health justice in our communities.
