Collaborative: Racism is a PH Crisis | Small Group Conversations | Discussion Questions

We are so excited to continue our conversation with WSPHA! June 1st Collaborative will provide an opportunity to connect in small groups & share your vision, perspective, insights and feedback on Racism is a PH Crisis + WSPHA’s resolution and plan. Although we have prepared the following discussion questions, we understand we may not get to all of them. We value organic conversations and will follow group’s lead.

Small group discussions will happen via Zoom breakout room. Rooms have been identified by the 4 strategies laid out in WSPHA’s resolution plan: Accountability, Allyship, Education and Advocacy.

If you need captioning, Spanish, ASL interpretation and/or additional language access, please let us know via email (Vax.Collaborative@doh.wa.gov) or through your zoom registration so that we can ensure the best support in desired breakout room!

General:

• What are your reactions or thoughts related to the resolution + plan?
• Are there existing projects or programs with similar strategies and actions that WSPHA should be familiar and/or connect with?
• Would you like to work with WSPHA and if so, how? How can we keep you best informed of this work?

Breakout Room Specific Questions:

• Accountability: What recommendations do you have so that WSPHA’s actions model strong EDI leadership in transforming our public health system? How can power be shared?
• Allyship: How can WSPHA best support your efforts to eliminate racism?
• Education: What educational resources (trainings, webpages, etc.) should WSPHA be sharing with its audience?
• Advocacy: Are there initiatives or legislation (local, state, or federal) that should be proposed or supported by WSPHA?
