White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health WATCH PARTY

University at Albany Downtown Campus Milne Hall Room 001 135 Western Ave, Albany, NY, United States

Please join us and our coalition partners at the WH conference WATCH PARTY in Albany on September 28. Registration isย  capped at 140, so register now! The goal: End hunger and increase healthy eating and physical activity by 2030, so that fewer Americans experience diet-related diseases like diabetes, obesity, and hypertension. Millions of Americans are afflicted with food insecurity and diet-related diseases โ€” including heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes โ€” which are some of the leading causes of death and disability in the U.S. The toll of hunger and these diseases is not distributed equally, disproportionately impacting underserved communities, including communities of color, people living in rural areas, people who are differently-abled, older adults, LGBTQI+ people, military families, and military veterans. Lack of access to healthy, safe, and affordable food, and to safe outdoor spaces, contributes to hunger, diet-related diseases, and health disparities. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated these challenges further. We cannot wait to act. And we arenโ€™t. The Biden-Harris Administration will host the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health on September 28, 2022. In parallel to the conference, they will be announcing a National Strategy that identifies steps the government will take and catalyzes the public and private sectors to address the intersections between food, hunger, nutrition, and health. The five pillars described below define the scope of the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and [...]

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion, including the creators of the film, experts in the field, and organizers in the movement for universal healthcare. During the panel, weโ€™ll be discussing how weโ€™re organizing to make healthcare a human right. This year, more than 68,000 Americans will die from a lack of access to adequate healthcare. 500,000 families will file for bankruptcy because of medical expenses. These numbers only represent a fraction of the trauma that millions of people experience every day in the American for-profit healthcare industry. Yet over 70% of Americans support switching to a universal healthcare system. Healing US stands as the final case for American healthcare to be free and accessible to all.
