Destruction*
*A Community Forum*

*Wednesday April 2nd*

*SFU Harbour Centre Room 1425*

How do we achieve health for all when communities are faced with widening
social and economic injustice, declining air quality, the destruction of
natural environments through resource extraction and urban expansion, and
intensifying wars of aggression? How are communities impacted by a mounting
environmental crisis?

Join the Alliance for People's Health to mark *World Health Day* and learn
how poor and marginalized communities around the world are fighting from the
front-lines against the neoliberal policies at the root of environmental
injustice. Find out how to get involved through community action for social
and environmental change.
