We discussed the what, why and how of building the health movement for transformative climate justice and were joined by special guest speakers: Dr Abdul El-Sayed – Former Health Director of Detroit and professor at Columbia’s Mailman School of Public Health Guppi Bola – Former Medact Interim-Director, Chair of the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants, researcher and public health strategist with a background in economic justice campaigning. Dr Stephanie Davis Le Brun – Clinical psychologist working in older adult mental health services and a member of the North West branch of Psychologists for Social Change.
