- MAHA yes
- VT Climate and Health Alliance
- American Lung Association

NEEDS – How can Consortium Help?
- Educational slides that will help make it simple to share the message.

- Regionally or state appropriate information regarding health impacts.
- A short video about the Call to Action.
- Coordinate create of a target list and outreach efforts.
- Create a visual or diagram of the Call to Action that can convey components quickly and easily.
- Stories would be helpful (success stories) that can inspire others.
- Also stories of people who are impacted:
- Clinicians
- Low income individuals
- Youth
- Online form for clinicians “health impact form” where clinicians could put their stories.
- Dedicated website for the Call to Action.
Other comments:
- CCL is hungry to get the healthcare message; the materials would be helpful.
- Physicians need “cover” from their medical societies.
How would you use the Call to Action?
- Idea from HCWH: Targeted social media comms strategy with messaging that’s relevant to core audiences, but coordinated to help elevate the message.
- Feature Call to Action in Grand Rounds conducted to focus on what we can do about climate change (OCCA).
2) PUBLIC EDUCATION
Challenges and Opportunities:
- Is the language inclusive? It needs to be reviewed broadly.
- Don’t rush the stakeholder process such that important input on equity and inclusion cannot be included.
- APHA has sent it to their Tribal Think Tank for feedback.
- NAACP
- Hold an EJ stakeholder meeting to convene and revise with input?
- Business Involvement?
- Faith Community Involvement?
- CCL can help with sharing the Call to Action for Business and Conservative Caucus
- Call to Action is long – do we need to shorten or parse it out depending on the audience? Could we create a bullet points version?
Comments:
- When this comes down to a battle over legislation – need to boil it down to top priorities.
Ideas:
- Train the trainer sessions?
Questions:
- FOR ORGANIZERS: Is the goal to get national, as well as state or regional organizations signed on? We think the more the merrier.
- Will there (can there be) be a central repository for resources and stories that are being compiled by many organizations?
Potential Partners Discussed:
- American Hospital Association
- State Hospital Associations
- OHA
- Children’s Hospital Association of Ohio
