Health equity is foundational to the well-being of every community, yet barriers to critical healthcare continue to affect underserved populations. In this session, we will explore the powerful impact of community organizing, coalition-building, and advocacy in addressing one of the most pressing health crises of our time: access to organ transplantation. Featuring global recording artist Al B. Sure!, Rev. Al Sharpton, and Rachel Noerdlinger. Join us as we discuss how powerful coalitions are working to shift the conversation around healthcare access, showing how grassroots advocacy can transform lives and help ensure that health equity is a right, not a privilege.

00:14to everything that they do every day.
00:17In regards to this moment and this bill and how it's impacting us and how the disinformation
00:23can be pushed back upon, I think the first thing is people need to get involved locally.
00:31You have to understand what your local contingencies of elected officials, your local advocates,
00:39and people in the community that are actually on the ground, like the National Action Networks,
00:45that know what is real and what is not real.
00:48And a lot of this is also folks have to stop believing everything that they see on Instagram,
00:54TikTok, and X, et cetera, because it's a very, very dangerous place to be.
01:01You have to really use discernment in this moment to ask the right questions and really, really
01:09come at this with an analytical eye and an activist eye.
01:14Everybody needs to hit the streets.
01:16As Reverend Sharpton said, it is time for us to continue to turn demonstration into legislation
01:23as we deal with misinformation and disinformation.
