UPCOMING EVENTS
No Menthol Sunday 2023
The Center for Black Health & Equity’s No Menthol Sunday is our annual opportunity for faith communities to address the detrimental impact tobacco is having on African American communities.
Each year we encourage faith leaders to dedicate this day to educating congregants about smoking, vaping and the role of menthol and other flavors. Even though the current pandemic has increased the risk of smoking-related death in our community, there is so much that we can all do!
This is our time to go against the grain and reject the tobacco industry's tactics.
State of Black Health
National Conference
The Center for Black Health & Equity's State of Black Health National Conference provides a forum for hundreds of community leaders and equity advocates, from every background, to address and find solutions for the social and economic injustices that have marginalized our communities and led to deep health disparities.
This year's theme is a salute to our host island, Puerto Rico. It signifies The Center's mission to focus on the health and well-being of all Black people.
